Please help

It seems like I'm always making mistakes and my panic disorder is rushing me into them. I truly trust my bf, but we don't live together and he does have friends, as do I. He has done everything he possibly could to make me feel secure yet I just can't. So last night I asked if he and this girl were just friends (why can't I just shut up) and of course it didnt go over very well. We have been seeing each other for 8 mos but used to date 8 yrs ago. I just felt that this was bothering me and if i could just ask him then it would go away b/c I DO trust him if I hear it from his mouth.

He is the best thing I have in my life right now. I battle constant panic attacks and depression. He did tell me it was bad timing and talked to me a bit later. I don't want my panic over stupidity to drive us apart. He already has alot on his plate, something tells me he's not going to tolerate a freaking out girlfriend for very long.

The worst part is, I don't know the difference between "normal" reactions and "panicked" reactions which just make me panic further. I have tried meds and therapy each will help for a short time. Then my anxiety turns to anger and isolation.

Please I don't want to lose him is there a way to smooth this over. He's such a good guy, more than I could have hoped for. I didnt believe it but had to hear it from him instead of being angry about it all the time.

Is this something that may happen in a "normal" relationship or have i truly gone off the deep end

Perhaps you're bipolar? This

Perhaps you're bipolar? This isn't to be offensive, but bipolar disorder if often associated with bouts of depression, insecurity, mood swings, and paranoia. I doubt you're a paranoid schizophrenic. But instead of your typical psychologist, she a psychiatrist, and see if he has a better diagnosis for you.
