I feeling like I could rely on my friends a bit with anxiety but I feel like I'm oversharing or treating them like a therapist any time I talk about it and I hate it cause I know my boyfriend says he's there for me and I feel bad cause I feel like I'm not

Trusting him enough

I feel this way all the time. if you’re worried, maybe you can ask them about how they feel and if they reassure you then it’s all good. I’ve had friends who did lean on me too much, but it was only too much when they didn’t care about my feelings or didn’t let me lean on them either. if you are a good friend and let them lean on you then I’m positive it’s okay.
Yes, this ^^ friendship isn't about not letting people help you carry your burdens, it's about mutual support and love. Just talking about things can make a big difference in making you not feel so alone. It would only be a problem if one friend was sharing and looking for support and then refusing to be there for anyone else. I know trusting people with the darkness in your head is NOT the easiest thing to do, but anyone who loves you should be able to handle the things that come with you, too
