Hi, not too sure if anyone has the same sort of problem as me, but I have several mental health problems aggression being the main one and depression and anxiety and I also lie way too much about pointless things and sometimes big things but I don’t know that I’m doing it at times and then when it’s done I think why the hell did I just say that and can not correct it I find it extremely hard and when I get found out I get extremely angry it’s destroying my relationship with my girlfriend has anyone ever experienced this at all and has anyone got over this and can be fully honest I know everyone tells a white lie every now and then but mine are nearly everyday

So.. Ben_Gould… I don't personally do the lying thing because I have always felt that if u lie.. its just a matter of time before u get caught.I do have severe depression and anxiety at times BUT Ive learned to catch myself" in the act" and find ways to eradicate or cope with what Ive been dealt since some people cant rid themselves of these and other med issues.

My thought is.. if u catch urself after these words come out of ur mouth and know.. Yikes..maybe I shouldn't have said all that...catch it before then.When ur thinking something.. write it down..type it ??? Its always easier to edit urself after ur read something then just having verbal diarrahea.dont be so hard on yourself..we have all had things come out of our mouths that we regret.. lie or ???

Heres something to turn ur frown upside down.. ( I hope)...I went to a friends funeral couple years back..I was on the line where everyone greets family members of the deceast and they say some comforting words to them...WELL.. I personally don't do well in serious situations..EXAMPLE.. I got to one family member and said "We gotta stop meeting like this!!!" Yep.. really bad.. couldn't believe it came out of my mouth..I did apologize and explained Im a kucklehead at times and my prior head injuries, make me not the most normal sympathetic person, and I say crazy things at inappropriate times.

Maybe also let others close to u know things may come out of ur mouth.. could be a lie..but not intentional.

At least ur aware of it and trying to problem solve it.

Best to u.

It’s not that I plan to lie it’s that my mind just does it and then I’m like what the hell how do I correct it and then anxiety hits and I literally cannot.

And yea did make me laugh at your comment there can always try my hardest just wanted to see if anyone else was in the same sort of boat as me and had similar things
