Title says it all. M20, first relationship / sexual partner. Girlfriend is older and has had past sexual experiences. RJ is kinda ruining my life.

I've been trying to deal with it for a few months now. Already made huge progress by no longer trying to find out more about her past through any means. I shared my insecurities with her and she was comprehensive and compassionate. Nevertheless I try to spare her of the occasional panic attacks and negative thoughts that come with it, since it's my battle to win after all.

I'm confident I'll get through this eventually, but I just need some advice on how to deal with the negative thoughts creeping in. How do I prevent them from snowballing into full blown panic attacks?
