Dear Diana,
I am 27 and currently in my first serious relationship with a 28-year-old man. I must admit that I am completely addicted to him. I cry at the thought of us being separated for even a week. I want to spend as much time with him as possible, but then I have had my share of heartbreaks before and always look at my relationships with a pessimistic approach. I am constantly thinking that he doesn't love me as much as I love him. I want to stop that thought but I some how can't.

Dear Anuja,
You need to stop worrying and live the moment. Nobody knows what tomorrow brings, so enjoy the present. Your incessant worrying can be a cause of friction between you and your partner. You seem to be playing out mental scenarios of doom, failure and fatal consequences. Stop thinking about what if this happens or what if that happens. Right now nothing is happening, so stop worrying. Try meditation and yoga which will help you relax and stay calm.
