Ever since I was a child, I would have emotional outbursts. i have a bad fear of abandonment complete with severe attachment to my fiancée.

i tend to get mad easily and have mood swings, and i used to try not to think the worst of my partner. i was so attached to her, but I’d always think she didn’t like me back or that she’d abandon me one day.

i prepared for that.

now that we’re engaged, I’m still attached, but less negatively.

but it used to be really bad. i’d get mania and depression episodes but i’d also get like that. I know you can’t diagnose here, I’m just wondering for yall’s insight(?)

    As someone who is figuring out if they suffer with that shit…my main advice is …talk. Even if you feel dumb about it. Even if you think you don’t got the words, just try. Talking has helped me so much. I do not rage like I use to, and I am able to be honest when I hit a pit of depression or a mood swing. Even when I do fly off the cuff now, I am able to keep control and realize how I am coming off. Talking is one of the best tools we have for our mental health.
