so ive been diagnosed with depression and anxiety, and my bf is okay with it, he is supportive even though he has no idea why I’m like how I am. but even after 9 months I cant, just physically cant stay at his house, I freak out. I cry and have to leave. I shut down and will sit in silence absolutely terrified of doing something wrong. I know his family think I’m weird. and now hes not speaking to me. ive tried so many times to over come it, but I still just cant stay overnight. why? whats wrong with me?

There’s nothing wrong with you, its only panic, and it’s okay to panic. Hope things get better between you guys.
@tornapart is right. You are going through a struggle and your feelings are normal for the struggle you are enduring.
“absolutely terrified of doing something wrong” would be a big clue, I’d say.
Nothing is wrong with you. Anxiety is so hard because sometimes it comes out of nowhere and it builds up inside. It can be terrifying because when you have anxiety you deeply think of the worse possible situation and it brings with it so many negative thoughts and drops this tremendous pressure on to your shoulders.
You can get through it. That is what building trust and reminding yourself that you love him is for. Who cares what his family thinks. If this is a true healthy relationship and you both live each other so much then he will be patient with you. You should be each other’s priorities and so if you are struggling with this he should understand. You can fight through it.
