this is good

I’d just like to add, see how they behave when they’re angry/frustrated/exhausted, and if you see something that concerns you, wait until they’re calm, and then talk to them about it.

My husband used to yell when he got frustrated, but after I explained to him that I found it upsetting, he stopped yelling and started consciously working on asking for help before he got to that level of frustration.

When I’m upset over something, or just in a bad mood, I tend to withdraw. My husband explained to me that it makes him feel like I’m mad at him, so now when I need some space, I’ll tell him what I’m upset about, or that I’m in a bad mood for no particular reason, and I need to be alone for a little while.

See your friends and partners at their worst, but don’t assume that their worst is immutable. If someone loves and cares about you, they’ll try to accommodate you to the best of their ability.

^^^^ This is the best advice I’ve ever seen on this site, and it is so important. Communication is everything, and is 80% of the reason my husband and I have such a healthy, strong, and supportive relationship.

Can I just say how heartening these additions are, as one of the many people who struggles with The Shitty Kind of Anger as a symptom of PTSD?

Like, I don’t mean I hit people or shit like that. But I’m irritable and short of fuse, weirdly, mostly towards inanimate objects?? I have the emotional lability of a sock in the wind. It’s something I am actively working on. I won’t be perfect. I’ll fail a lot. All I can say right now is that I am consistent and good at not aiming it AT people. But sometimes I am an Anger Goblin who is smoldering and sad, and that’s where I am in my life.

Discouragingly, my shrink has told me this is basically a phase of trauma healing for a lot of people, and the only way out is through. I try to keep in mind that this means I’m still alive, emotionally. That my rage is a sign that I understand that what happened to me is not ok, not a sign that I’m a terrible person undeserving of love. But it’s hard to navigate the world without hating myself in this phase of my healing.

And so many times when I see posts like this, they come down to “Yeah people who struggle emotionally or who are mentally ill are Bad Damaged Worthless People, don’t date them.” And it was nice to see that isn’t how this one went.

So, thanks.
