Hi /adv/, I need some help

I'm dating a girl and everything is going great, she's not the problem.

The problem is that whenever she doesn't text or talk to me for a few hours, I get really anxious and start thinking that she started hating me overnight for some reason, which I know is not true.

The reason behind this is that my ex used to "punish" me by ghosting me for hours or days whenever I did something she didn't like.

How can I overcome this insecurity and tell my brain to shut up and stop getting anxious over something completely normal? I don't want to ruin this.

You need more sources of good things in your life. So you don't depend on this one thing for your happiness

As Captain-Obvious-y as it is, it's solid advice that I forget on a regular basis.

(OP) we didn't reach a "solution", i just told her about how i felt and she made sure to reassure me that everything was fine, she also said she'd check on me more often so i don't get anxious
