    Basically I am having a few “problems” that am not sure that I can cope with and I came across this website and thought I would share my story with everyone for advice and to see if anyone else is going thru the same thing as me or similar.

     

    I have been in a relationship with my current boyfriend now for 3 years we got together May 18th 2014, we’ve been thru a lot of stuff, he hasn’t been so kind to me over the 2 years odd, but anyway we have lived together for 2 years now moved into our first flat in 2015, then moved into my grandads house which we only moved into May this year, we have argued a lot throughout these 3 years of being together but I have noticed since I have moved in with him, I am nothing but constantly angry/ upset/ anxious / depressed etc I am always argumentative and most of the time I argue with him and get angry over stupid stuff that I shouldn’t, now I have been thru some horrible stuff, I didn’t really want to mention this really but I had a termination in 2015 and it has always haunted me since so maybe that has an affect on my emotions being constantly up the wall. I love him but sometimes I don’t, and I don’t know if it’s just because the way my emotions are but I say some pretty mean things when am angry and I can’t help what I say half the time, one minute am happy/ sad/depressed/angry and sometimes I can be vile, I just want to feel normal again, I don’t like too talk about my feelings or problems to anyone, I know I should go see someone and tell them and maybe get help but I can’t do that, I am far too stubborn and I just won’t do it. I just want to be the old happy me again but I don’t know how.. any advice would be very much appreciated, thank you very much to anyone who reads this or gives me advice. X

    Hi Jasmine,

    I hope that when you read this you are well on the way with a solid plan to make your life so much better. I found out many, many years ago what it means when someone says you don’t really know someone until you live with them. You post is riddled with describing the amount of anger you have. You also mentioned that, “he hasn’t been so kind to me over the 2 years…”. What is paramount is that you address the source of your anger first. Being that angry for as often as you say you do is operating from a very weak position. Being that angry over “stupid stuff ” does not allow you to interact with your b/f  in a more positive way. When you said, ” I know I should go see someone and tell them and maybe get help but I can’t do that, I am far too stubborn…” can you agree that the ways you have been handling your anger don’t work, and that anger doesn’t work? I do not mean to make my response seem to be me picking on you my friend, and not your b/f.  I don’t know what his issues are. My words come only from my heart. It’s just that when anger becomes the default response there is a tendency for that to spill over in to your other relationships, i.e. work, friends, etc. If it is true that you do in fact want to address your anger and discover how to have better ways to react yet you don’t want to see a professional for help, consider various books on the matter as a start. Anger in relationships on the level you describe are one of the many reasons for relationships to end yet we don’t see that possibility while are in that moment.

    I hope you have not taken my words in a bad way. I am not good with words to begin with. I just want to reach out to you just as you asked and hope that you are well, doing fine, and that your life becomes consistently more happy. Let me know…

    Hi Jasmine,

    No wonder you’re depressed: You live with a guy that isn’t very nice, you’re both living with a relative, you had a termination, and the relationship itself is getting old.

    What would living by yourself as a single person look like?

    I’m envisioning you free, fulfilled and happy.

    It’s not that you need a shrink to help you deal with your anger. It’s more like you need to shake up your life so you have nothing to be angry about.

    Blessings,

    Inky
