I don't really have a set topic for this one, I just need to vent. I feel like I'm a burden to my partner. I'm extremely emotionally sensitive to the point where if they talk to me in any sort of aggressive way I cry, and they know this and they feel terrible for it, but I feel terrible for putting them through my garbage. I try so hard not to bash myself on it because it doesn't do anyone good, but I feel like absolute crap and being nice to myself feels gross. My emotions are uncontrollable at this point and the last time they heard me cry over them simply saying “Whatever.” they felt like it was their fault. They're allowed to be mad, even at me, I never want to make them feel like they can't express their emotions, in fact I heavily advocate for them to just feel how they feel, I just wish I didn't react so negatively to something that isn't about me. I love them so much, they shouldn't have to deal with all of this. Okay I think I'm done, I'm sorry for such a heavy topic and self deprecating, it's a hard thing to witness. Thank you to anyone who reads this, I hope you're having a good day

      I was similar at one point with strong emotions and crying often. Talking with a therapist was helpful as I got someone to hear and validate my emotions. I kid you notz often she described what I was feeling without me even saying it all. At the time I was like yes, but putting words in my mouth. This was the first time I felt like someone really got my experience since I had an emotionally deregulated parent who often invalidated and emotionally neglected me. She was able to then demonstrate the emotional regulation and teach me tips and tricks to help me deal with with my challenges with emotions.

      It's okay I use to feel like that too but I talk to my therapist and I take medicine for my anxiety and depression and it help my mood so much. When I strong feeling now I paint and draw them out while listening to music.
