What to do with my anxiety?

Hi all! Hoping you can help because it’s absolutely crushing me.

I’ve (M32) been dealing with post-Covid anxiety since I recovered back in Decemeber. I get random anxiety spikes and it’s been affecting me for so long. One aspect that the anxiety is affecting me is with my relationship. I’m seeing this absolutely amazing girl for almost 2 years now (F32). She’s beautiful, ambitious, and has an absolute heart of gold and our relationship has been a dream. To me, she’s the one. But when I’ve been anxious, I’ve been having very scary thoughts- am I into the relationship, do I love her, am I attracted to her, etc. I know in my heart that I do, but my mind keeps trying to tell me otherwise. When I think about her, I get spikes in anxiety. When I talk/facetime her, I get a wave of anxiety that comes and goes.

Whenever this happens, it breaks my heart. I get so emotional and get on the verge of tears or even actually cry because that’s not how I feel and I don’t want this anxiety to be here. We are planning to move in together in a few months and I can’t wait to begin this new step with her, but at the same time, my anxiety is sort of pushing away some of the excitement.

This anxiety comes on the moment I wake up. It also occurs during work and when I’m not doing anything, but it’s most prevalent when I think about my relationship. This happened back in February as well out of nowhere and luckily went away. I’m trying to shake it but I feel like I have no control over it.

Any thoughts? I love this girl to death and to me, she’s the love of my life. I’ve communicated how I’ve been feeling and she’s been so supportive. I just want to feel how I feel without this anxiety!

TL;DR - Got Covid, now have this weird anxiety that’s making me rethink my relationship with my fantastic girlfriend for no reason at all.

I am in the limbo and I am not sure what to think about this

I (M24) am seeing a F22 woman who has been a friend of mine for a while. Then at some point we deepened our connection and we got into some sort of weird limbo that I never really understood. Like, we did stuff that couples do, we talked until 6am in my car, we did nice trips, and even when I went to another continent for a few months we had lots of phonecalls and everything. It was very intense emotionally and it really looked like we liked each other a lot. However, she never wanted to exit the limbo, basically it seemed she just wanted me as close as possible but neither as a friend nor as a boyfriend, so I had to break it up. We were definitely each other's most important person so it sucked. After three months of no contact, we talked about it a few days ago and she said that she knows it's a defense mechanism. a) She has had a traumatic 4 year long relationship that makes her associate commitment to self-sacrifice and now she's in a comfort zone where the idea of dating a random guy that she doesn't even know feels less pressuring to her, because she could exit the dynamic at any point. With me, indeed, pressure is the problem: we know each other very well, it would be real intimacy and she would have to give her best. b) She told me she is definitely not great at understanding her emotions and it takes a lot of effort, so a serious relationship would be quite demanding for her. c) She told me she might have suppressed her feelings and that after her breakup (one year and a half ago) she has felt like she was compensating for the fact that she was too vulnerable before - so she forced herself to feel "less".
She is taking some time to think about it, but I am not sure how to feel about this whole story. Do you have any comments / insights? Thanks!

tl;dr i am in the limbo and i'm not sure what to do. I am only 24 and I know much more experienced people might have a better insight than me on this.

My boyfriend downloaded Tinder the day after we got into an argument

I (26F) have been dating my boyfriend (30 M) for about a year. This was my first time dating someone and overall we were very happy together. Two months ago we got into an argument and we stopped contacting each other. I called him a few days later and asked him why he didn't call and if we were done but he just said that he was busy and would call me later. He never called so I assumed that we were over (I really thought that he would call so it took me more than a month to realize that we were really over). This was our third time breaking up so I told myself that no matter what happened, I would never get back with him.

Two weeks ago, he called me and said that he was really sorry and wanted to get back together. I still loved him a lot so I decided to get back with him. The day after we started dating, he asked if he could stay at my place for a month until he found a new place to live (I'm currently in grad school and live alone). He recently moved to a new apartment but he said he was looking for a new place to live because he couldn't sleep well at the new apartment due to some weird smell. I sort of didn't want him to but he begged so I allowed him to stay. One of my friend said that he just contacted me because he had no place to go and wanted to stay somewhere for free but I didn't want to believe her.

Fast forward to today, I was watching Netflix on his MacBook (with his permission) and his text icon started to blink. I shouldn't have but I pressed it and read a few of his messages. I found out that he downloaded Hinge and Tinder the day after we got into an argument. He even went on a few dates a few days after our argument.

I was devastated and I couldn't believe that he would cheat on me. I called him immediately and told him what I saw and that I wanted him to give me some space and stay at his apartment. He said he was sorry and that everything was true. He said he downloaded the app because he thought we were done and he wanted to forget me quickly. I was devastated and I told him that I couldn't believe that he would cheat on me. He said he technically didn't cheat because we were over (even though he did not verbally say anything to me). He said that he loved me so much and that he learned so much within the 2 months that we were apart. He said he realized that I was the one and that he couldn't live without me.

I really think that he loves me but I'm not sure if I can really trust him anymore.

tl;dr: my boyfriend downloaded tinder and hinge the day after we got into a fight and went on a few dates a week later
