My name is Shannon and I am new to this group and joined because I have been having massive issues this week.
* need advice on how to handle your sig.other when they are being arugmentative asses?
* and how to just plain out be a little less agitated all the time - yes I'm on meds but feeling like it it not helping?
Hello to you.
If your sig other is being argumentative would it help if you went to a different place until they calmed down.
Agitated, is there something that makes you agitated?
After being with my hubby off and on for 16 years, I know what you mean. He gets very frustrated with me and my anxiety/depression. He's unfortunately a pretty hands off kind of guy, so I feel like most of the work, I do myself. It's no fun living as though you're walking on eggshells, but the most effective things I've found are: -Finding a place I can be alone or with others who love and support me when I feel anxious, but need company. For me, that's sitting in my backyard making a phone call to my mom or going to a local coffee shop that's cozy and lets me people watch and escape from my thoughts for a bit.
-Telling him exactly what I need/want from him. I realized that a lot of men just aren't intuitive to a woman's needs, so being direct has helped immensely.
- Letting him have his space without nagging him about it. I know for me, when my GAD is at its worst, I'm very dependent and clingy. He needs an escape sometimes and I've learned to feel comfortable with that.
- Communication is key.
My relationship is far from perfect, but implementing those things the past couple years has helped a lot
