"I have issues,too" - society

[M_X_D]

Had a rough night last night, slept on the couch cause I lashed out at my wife...i just couldn't handle it last night. I tried to calm down, but it felt the more I tried to calm down, my wife got more angry at me. I was hoping her coming to my therapist appointment was going to open her eyes to what I go through....but she just brushes it off. She has her own issues but they are more as they come throughout the day. Mine is constant, deep rooted, and crippling. I'm far worse than anyone knows.

I try to stay strong but I'll be damned if it's not the single most impossible thing to do....

Im sorry you experienced that yesterday. Im married and my husband and i have similar issues. When we argue he will actually tells me to go take my medicine. I try and explain thats not how my medicine works... my medicine has nothing to do with him being insensitive. Moreover, it hurts when you actally put effort and time into what your partner is going through and they brush your situation off.The Nerve! I guess this is not actually advice i just wanted to let you know there is someone out here who understands.

I'm sorry to hear that Queen. If he does that again, tell him to go take a long walk off a short pier! You are doing the best you can and you need all the support you can get! Better still, go tell him to go take his medicine! lol

If you ever need support, we're here for ya!

Hiya M! Nothing in life is impossible....the depression may make it seem that way, but it's just trying to slow you down. And believe me, I know it's hard to open up to anyone. We have to be mindful of how we feel, when we need to step back, and how to handle life in a positive, constructive way. All you can do is tell your spouse how you feel. You can't control what other people think or do.

If you ever need someone to vent to, we're here for ya!

Sometimes when you are in a space where both parties are having a "bad" day, it's probably a good idea to actually physically remove yourself to cool off...go for a walk, clean out the garage, mow the lawn....ooooppps that's my to do list. My point is definitely don't engage in an argument that's not going anywhere. We are all guilty of it and it def takes practice.
