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(?)
Yep, same, c-PTSD, “normal” PTSD, moderate generalised anxiety, also had dysthymia for a long while (manifesting as an almost complete anhedonia), but I managed to get out of this last one.
One of my therapists also mentioned that I seem to have some form of autism (and all screenings I’ve done put me at least on the moderate slice of the spectrum), but I’ve never pursued this further. Actually stopped mattering after a point, as I managed to settle with myself and now I just proudly own my specifics.
