Answer 1

Anxiety kind of is your imagination and all in your head. Its when you feel nervous or anxious about stuff in sort of an extreme way, like way more anxious than average person. It sounds a bit extreme to get that upset about a boyfriend not texting you.

Is there something else that is bothering you lately? Or something going on in this relationship that is causing you lots of stress? Do you get anxious about other stuff or is it just in this one situation?

Sometimes people just get anxiety sort of temporarily but if it continues/worsens or you can't figure out what is causing it and how to stop it then maybe see a counselor.

ETA- this doesn't sound like a serious anxiety disorder or anything like that IMO, maybe just relating to your current situation and will go away once the issue is dealt with. Try to distract yourself or breathe slowly for a bit to help for now:)
