Met someone with anxiety disorder

[Vinny]

I don't personally have anxiety disorder. But I started dating someone that does. And I am totally confused. I met this woman named "Jane". We had been Facebook friends for years. We finally hooked up. Had a great time. Wound up having sex too. I really like her. But ever since then she has been giving me the cold shoulder. Doesn't return my texts or calls etc. so I was confused.

Then she started hurling hurtful insults to me. Started saying I smelled, I was ugly and that I was a horrible sex partner. And I was a mistake for her. This hurt me badly. She finds fault with almost anything I say or do. And has little or no regard for the things she says to me or about me. And I've said things back in retaliation for what she's said to me. And she never lets go of anything I said back. But cares little about my feelings. She has opened up to me when she was having a anxiety attack. And has told me she has considered suicide.

Part of me gets so angry and hurt by her. And my conscience tells me I should run as fast as possible. My heart tells me differently. I am smitten over. I want to reach out to her and be her friend. I also don't want to be the reason she flies off of her broom handle either nor do I want to be the reason for her anxiety. I just do not know what I should do.

She could be trying to sabotage the relationship. Can happen with people who have anxiety. They get involved and can't handle been involved. So then they do anything to make the other person back off. If that means been bad and nasty, they will do that. I can't say for certain that this is what she is doing. Just an example of what some can do. I have even done it myself to a person I liked so much. Just thought I couldn't handle the whole thing. Wanted out as I felt I had nothing to offer her. Thought she could do better. Is how the anxiety mind can work / think at times.
