<human>: Hello all;

First time poster to this sub, but I have been having some odd feelings lately regarding my (relatively) new girlfriend and I.

She has been diagnosed with BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) but is on medication for this as well as anti anxiety. I too am on anti anxiety drugs. 

Things have been going pretty well between us, but my main concern is I feel like I am a lot more attached/giving more than she is. I have talked with her about this and she insists she will initiate more of our dates and also sex, but I have yet to really see anything to convince me otherwise.

When we are together everything is fine between us, we laugh and talk about really anything. But when we are apart I can't help but think about her almost constantly. Whenever I send a text I get really anxious if she doesn't reply. We both work full time so we are relatively busy, but we live very close to each other. 

We only see each other in person maybe once a week - and to me that's honestly not really enough. I miss her a lot when we are apart. I believe I have some fear of abandonment issues that have been with me my whole life. 

I just would like some advice on how to discuss my feelings with her without seeming too needy/desperate for her affection. I do not have that much relationship experience as my longest has been ~6 months give or take. This is also my first real relationship in over a year. 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, and if you need more details/explanation please don't hesitate to ask!

Provide a brief overview of the text.
