I'm a big worrier, but more so when it comes to dating/relationships. I think the worst when trying to figure out what's going on,etc...

I was going to hang out with the guy i'm dating/seeing this past weekend but,things didn't work out due to Mother's Day and work. Now any normal person would probably just go on about things and plan to do something the following weekend.

Not me. I talk myself into thinking he doesn't like me anymore, and he won't ask me to hang out this weekend like he does every Thursday. This happened once before when we hung out for the first time. I talked myself into thinking he wouldn't ask me out again, and that he didn't have fun even though he said he did.

The guy in question i've known for 5.5 years, and we recently started talking at the end of last year. Then it progressed into us hanging out with other friends every weekend for a month. Then, we started hanging out on the weekends just the two of us. And i know he's interested because of how he acts around me, and vice versa.

So why do i talk myself into thinking he doesn't like me? Am i just insecure from my past relationship that ended 5 months ago still?(it was emotionally abusive) Am i afraid he's going to be like every other guy i've dated and just up and stop talking to me, and break my heart?

    Lexapro is evil... It doesn't work for everyone. Sounds like you need a Xanax. Anxiety medications like Xanax, Kolonopin, Valium, etc...would be better than an anti-depressant which is what Lexapro is "typically" prescribed for. It has some wicked side effects. Works for some, but not all! As does any medication. Getting back to your comment, sounds like you are insecure. Ask yourself what is it going to take to make you secure in this relationship? Once you have that figured out, you can move forward. Don't get "stuck" because of the past, he isn't the same person so cut him some slack and dig deep down inside yourself and figure it out quickly. If you don't, you may end up loosing the best thing that ever happened to you!

    You should see a doctor and ask if he'll prescribe escitalopram (commonly known as Lexapro.) It'll help take away some of the anxiety you've been feeling lately. It'll work wonders, give it a try!
