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(?)

    I’m no psychologist but recognize some similar feelings I experienced too. Could be undiagnosed PTSD or ADHD. Neither particularly makes relationships easy.

    Definitely agree, therapist and a formal diagnosis could be very beneficial to you better understanding you. Godspeed in your journey!
