Relationship issues. #BPD #PTSD #Depresion #Anxiety #Bipolar #Dyslexia
Hello. My name is Ed. This is my first post. I’m not sure this is the type of thing to post.
Just for context. I have BPD/Complex PTSD/Depression/Anxiety and I show patterns of bipolar. I also have dyslexia which become worse when I’m struggling the most. I take Pregablin Lamortrigine and Mirtazipine.
I am really really struggling with my gf. Our relationship can be very very volatile at times, and she always lies by saying I said something or did something when I know I didn’t. I stick up for myself and then it’s like throwing petrol on a bonfire, and the rage goes up inside me and my brain feels like it’s on fire.. it’s unbarable. My reaction to such is often to shout and become defensive, but also to become withdrawn.. but it’s like being exshausting.
I need help with dealing with triggers like this, but I just can’t find it.
I often find it really difficult expressing my feelings to her, whether that is if something’s good or bad. I don’t tell her I love her that often, but it’s not because I don’t (I don’t think haha) I just find it so hard overcoming all the fuzz in my head day to day to be forward thinking enough to be all like “you’re amazing and I love you because of this this and this” and it’s like, when she’s upset me I destroy that thought of love etc and hide it away some way, and that looks like I’m being cold or whatever.
It feels like she sometimes treats me like I’m broken and need fixing and is always saying in arguments “you need to go back to the doctors” or “your pupils have come massive” meaning I have crazy bipolar eyes.
I just want to hide away, or drink myself silly to cope…
Sorry I’m just ranting, I don’t know how to cope..
