I think you handled this very well. My mother made things a lot worse with her overreaction but you treated her like an adult and she opened up to you about why. This is a great first step now. If she needs therapy then I understand your money worries. Ask if that's what she thinks she needs.

You're not a bad mother. Sometimes babies cry and sometimes for no reason they won't settle. I've had it with my nephews before. I'm sorry you feel so awful I can understand how humiliating it can be when you are out in public with a baby who won't settle. I hope you can get something arranged soon

Hi guys, It occurred to me today after having spent the past few days in recovery mode after a panic attack that I feel an immense about of guilt over the suffering I put on my partner. He tries his best with me, looks after me and asked me how he can be more supportive in making sure I feel...

I've stopped using Android now. Woke up one day and my HTC decided it didn't like being on anymore. Partner had to actually boot into the system and get it to open like that. I have rapidly switched to an iPhone now as my partner's iPhones and Mac runs beautifully and the OS is so much better...

Sometimes for therapy to work we must have our walls and barriers torn asunder. That's just the nature of healing and we build up so much to keep us from being hurt ever again. This is a great step and you're doing well and it is terrifying and elating all at once but you will rebuild but this...

I wanna begin this with, I feel for you. I truly do because I can tell how much you love your wife from your post and that this is deeply affecting you. I would not have interpreted "I'm dry" as "No." however, I do think there's been a lack of communication both on her end for not saying "Hey...

so for the past week I've been on Citalopram (celexa) and I have been feeling very tired and waking up a few times a night. I thought this was either the meds or just lack of sleep. Anyway today my partner didn't have work so he laid in bed and noticed that I am now constantly twitching and...

This is the reason headphones were invented. Lol. I use them all the time anyway regardless since they help me not be paranoid outside and keep me calm. But like others have said if not read a book. He's 100% in the wrong and you shouldn't cater to that

I feel exhausted. And I feel a little bit lost and confused.

Personally, for me, I'd be shocked if my partner asked me to have a GPS tracker. And I've got PTSD and would never ask the same of him even though I get moments where I'm clingy and petrified he'll leave me I'd never want to violate his privacy, even if he were to start gigging again and be away...

Hey Sammy. I'm glad you've found this site. Welcome and I hope you find the support you need.

Life is hard and sometimes it's easy to find yourself overwhelmed but you have people and furbabies who love you dearly and would miss you. I know you're in pain. And I know it's hard. But you have come so far.

This is a great thread. Of real life people I've got: My brother, he taught me that no matter what happens in your childhood you can push forward and be a fantastic parent. My partner, who is always telling to me live in the now. Coheed & Cambria, the band I love so much I have their logo...

I can understand why you'd feel embarrassment but I'm sure your T doesn't think you're messing with her. You explained that you didn't know what these terms mean and why you didn't learn these things. It's perfectly fine. I literally had to tell my 30 year old partner the other day about how...

I was once told to do the red marker thing. I never understood it either, I think that when I used to cut it was for the calming effect that comes afterwards. As a result I only ever did it when I was under a high amount of stress and when my old T told me about the red pen thing I was like "But...
