<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

Just a quick summary. He and I were friends for almost 4 years before we dated. We were best friends. Feelings come into play and then we give it a shot. We were together for almost a year and a half, and it was the most amazing time of my life.

It didn't feel like a relationship in the sense that I was spending my time with someone I loved, there was no issues relating to jealousy, controlling behavior, etc. Everything was smooth.

A year passes in the relationship and I notice he starts to grow distant. Two months later and after a disgusting (no physical or verbal attacks went on) breakup, he tells me he doesn't feel comfortable in the relationship and needs to work on himself.

I'm left clueless. I spent weeks figuring out what I did wrong. I never took advantage of him, he wasn't forbidden to talk to/see anyone, I never pressured him, we got along very well, not clingy, etc.

Fast forward almost a month later, he admits he has commitment issues and I lost the little bit of hope I had left for us getting back together. 

I'm more hurt he didn't speak to me about it during the relationship (we spent some of our nights together just expressing our feelings and talking about what has been on our mind to keep communication open) and I couldn't have attempted to work through it with him, and find out exactly why he has commitment issues.

So I'm heartbroken because I feel I lost my soulmate and my best friend over "commitment issues," and I don't know where these commitment issues come from or deal with.

Is it even worth bringing up to him (we still talk sort of; I've been very distant due to the heartbreak) and potentially going at it again?

I'm very new at this and have no idea how to approach or even handle it.

P.S. I suffer from both an anxiety disorder and a panic disorder so I'm taking this extra hard. However, it was very well managed while with him. I had very few major attacks.
