Close Healthy Relationships

Fell in love with a girl about 4 months ago but it's causing my high-anxiety, panic attacks and depression. -2.5 years I was in a relationship with someone for 5.5 years who I later learned had borderline personality disorder -been in therapy 2 years, was diagnosed as being traumatized or PTSD (had memory loss, lack of interest in women..) -met the girl of my dreams. -now I get triggered panic or high anxiety that leads to depression with feelings of having to escape and being trapped
