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(?)

    You might read up on attachment styles but don’t rule out autism either with the emotional outbursts. Especially if they feel like they don’t come from “you”.

    As others have said, talking to a professional to get a full diagnosis can help you advance in this area and maybe help you heal.
