Anxiety with someone new?

[Winter's Child]

Hi everyone,

So I'm in a relationship, and I'm having a bit of anxiety over it. It's a long distance relationship. I'm having trouble with calling her 'mommy' and stuff like that. I like her, no doubt about it, but I'm just afraid. Any coping methods/tips? Thanks!!

Give it time. You obviously want to keep trying to overcome the anxiety but don't push yourself too hard... Slow and steady.

What could help is sending pics daily or revealing things about yourselves.

I have a great deal of anxiety with people, new and old. I don't like to disappoint or have confrontation.

My husband is my Daddy. I can call him Daddy when we're completely alone (sometimes), over text (always), and in the bedroom (always). I struggle with day to day calling him Daddy for fear someone else will hear or he won't really like it. We discovered DDlg together and realized this is what we'd been doing our whole relationship but didn't have a title for it.

 

Anxiety is rough. You can't force it away. What I did to get use to calling him Daddy at all was make sure I did it at least a couple times a day, and usually these were written in the beginning. He loves me calling him Daddy, but my anxiety surrounding it is still there. I am hoping it eventually goes away, but to overcome it I just keep trying.
