Anxiety and a new relationship

Tatyana

Ok, I wanna give context so this might get a bit long. Back in May I found out my ex cheated on me in February and got her pregnant. After lots of low self esteem, anxiety crisis, depression recurrence and insomnia I've managed to get back to my feet with the help of therapy and medication.

Four weeks ago I met this guy. We clicked on lots of things, he made me feel comfortable and in peace, told me things I always fantasized about, is extremely careful and respectful. He told me he hasn't feeling this good in years even though he wasn't planning to get in a relationship at the moment. He said I'm really special and sometimes we make small plans for the near future.

But he's at his senior year in uni and work part time there, so his schedule is quite packed. We've been seen each other for 3 to 4 times a week and often talking through text from morning to late might. I've been very open about me dealing with anxiety and depression and he seemed to understand.

Tuesday I was about to talk about how I wasn't being able to sleep early the night before and he interrupted to teach me his technique for falling asleep. I said I also used them but he insisted on telling what I could be doing wrong. I felt upset because he didn't listen to me and although I knew the feeling I couldn't put into words and embarrassingly tears started to form in my eyes so I excused myself to the bathroom. When I came back, he suggested to take me home. So we did. We were holding hands but in silent. Arriving at my house he apologized for using words that may have hurt me and I really didn't knew what to say, so I told him it was ok and he didn't need to apologize for anything. Later I sent him a message asking if he arrived home safe and that I was the one who was sorry, and for not knowing how to explain myself I end up acting strange. Beforehand he told me he would be very busy today but he didn't hear the audio message I sent t at 9 am it until now, 3:30 am on saturday. He has been online on WhatsApp but doesn't even open our conversation nor pick up my calls. Am I being paranoid to think he's avoiding me? Am I being anxious over something normal? If he's avoiding me what could be the reasons for such a change of behaviour? I am just so confused and feeling so.anxious and I secure I haven't been able to eat and I've been having chest pain, palpitations and upset stomach
