I'm new to this whole thing but here goes and please no negative comments. My boyfriend and I have been together for a year and initially for the first 8 months he did nothing which could have made me doubt my trust in him but I still worried anyways (as a sufferer of anxiety, it appears to worsen in relationships) as well as a result from previous relationships and it got very frustrating for him. One day in around February I found out he'd been messaging his ex, nothing too awful but enough to hurt me and from then my worries have intensified and the words that keep ringing in my head are a relationship without trust just won't work, since then things have been different, he's apologetic about what he did and has even shed a tear about it, he does everything he can to reassure me but I just don't know how to cope with my worries because they are literally ruining everything for me and I know deep down that regardless of whom I'm in a relationship with, I would always have difficulty trusting. In recent weeks, I have found myself feeling not good enough because of the fact my skin broke out and I've put on a bit of weight and equally I made a fatal mistake of searching said ex on social media and comparing myself to her, I just need some advice on what I could do to try and cope or contain my worries before they end up ruining who I am by nature as a person which is generally loving and a happy go lucky kind of girl. I'd really appreciate the help.
