People with mental disorders?

Question

Does your partner not understand you and say it's all in your head and it frustrates you. How can you get them to understand - my husband suffered from depression but now he rarely has it but he says alot of it is in my head and i think some of it is but sometimes we start fighting because i will get sooo freaked out.

He says over react ie when we went to Marine world(with my side of the family we went to look at the animals and maybe go on a ride) he was like maybe we'll go on the madusa and i started freaking out and crying cuz i was scared we would die and leave our daughter without parents for the rest of her life(we ended up going on it).

But i will freak out when he says certain words and have to pray to make it feel better. I think i have ptsd and ocd and b4 and when we were first together i was a major alcoholic.(i got pregnant and now breastfeed but STILL CRAVE alcohol but i know i cant or else i would well besides my husband too) On a weekend when were together should i take him step by step do the rituals show him the thoughts so he'll understand?

Answer 1

i have a borderline personality so i understand what you mean - a little at least.

its very difficult for people without these problems to understand those who have them.

my illness is the reason i dont have any serious relationship going on in my life.

seems like you need to consult a therapist as soon as possible. things get much easier when you get professional advice. there are drugs to deal with ocd. your life will get so much easier.

my therapist said i should do yoga everyday. i think it helps. try that or tai chi. but get to the doctor first.

Keep faith and God bless.

Answer 2

Yes, it can be hard for a couple to understand each other if they are not on the same page. This creates anger and frustration between the two and the love and care is gone.

Sounds like you are going through some very hard depression and very sad thoughts, like the whole parents dying and child living with no parents. It has to do with the way you were raised; possible you were constantly harassed, bullied, hit, put down.

Yes, girl, it can be very hard to get over the past.

But just think of it as power.

All those things that have happened to you did not kill you. They have only made you stronger.

Remember, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Talk to each other and breathe together and exercise together.

Little things should not create problems between the two.

Laugh instead of thinking negative or bad of something.

The past is in the past for a reason and did not follow you here in the future.
