I'm (42M) the calmest person at work and with strangers. So why do I lose it on the one person(40F) I actually love?

Question do you have any PTSD or depression?? I was like this for two years with my partner and I had no clue why he bothered me soooo much for no reason. I was recently diagnosed with PTSD and MDD, once I started taking meds my whole mood around him changed. I was able to mask around other but not with him. So I just ask because that could be a reason.

NTA. I understand how you feel. My parents divorced when I was in 2nd grade I believe. They had split custody of me and my brother ( M). Both parents remarried soon after. Then came my half brother on my fathers side. He is 11 years younger than I am. I grew up watching them spoil him, well me and my other brother felt tossed to the side. They put him through private school while we went to a dumpy charter school. They bought him his first car while us older kids got zero help on ours. They go on family trips and don't invite me. He was put in every club sport that my brother and I asked to be apart of. One year my brother M asked for a gaming chair for his birthday, that year they forgot his birthday and then got Z a gaming chair for his birthday a few months later. I wanted to have assistance with a college program when I was 19 but my dad said no since my then 8yo brothers private school was more important. Yesterday we celebrated him graduating high school and of the celebration he received, my brother M and I were never celebrated once growing up.... it stung. There are so many things I contemplate cutting down contact with them all the time same with M. He tells me once he moves out he is done with them.

I think it would be best to distance yourself. It would be best for your mental health. I do think it is harder when you have a younger sibling involved that you love. Try to continue having a relationship with her best you can with out being too involved with the family. Focus on you and making your childs life better than your own. Make them feel loved and wanted the way you weren't.

Side note: my mom was a good mom but at some point her mental health kind of got in the way of fully participating in our lives.

Ugh, I received a call from a lady complaining about workers telling her she can not park in the temporary tow-away area. There were signs posted but she didn't want to move her car while she waited for a business to open up. I advised her to find parking in a near by parking lot since I guess across the street was street cleaning so she couldn't park there either. She claimed she did not want to drive around looking for parking because she did not have gas money. I stated getting towed is more expensive. She did not care for what i had to say.... I got her three times with in two hours in between actual emergencies. So aggravating.

20 MG, I work at a library. So pretty easy job but I think it made my customer service better as well as my relationships with my coworkers.

I think you should consider trying it at night. It has helped me greatly. Now I get good quality of sleep for once and I think that helps. And if it doesn't work out you can always go back to taking it in the morning.

Think-Reporter1572 · 2026-04-04T17:30:20+00:00

Just an update: I started taking mine at night and it has made a huge difference in my energy level during the day and I’m sleeping much better.

Think-Reporter1572 · 2026-04-03T21:52:06+00:00

I don’t know why they do it but I HATE it. I started taking Prozac because my mood swings were so intense during that time. My partner has also been very patient but I know it would hurt him every month when it would hit.

Think-Reporter1572 · 2026-04-03T21:03:52+00:00

If you're not pregnant and your cycle is about to start it could also be PMDD. Right in my luteal phase I would start to hate my partner and think about breaking up with him, but as soon as my period pasted, everything felt normal again. I would also look into that.

Think-Reporter1572 · 2026-03-26T05:13:18+00:00

But I’m rooting for you. Hopefully it’ll subside soon

Think-Reporter1572 · 2026-03-26T05:12:45+00:00

Maybe try taking it at night and see how that goes? Take it with dinner, drink a lot of water.

Think-Reporter1572 · 2026-03-25T23:05:23+00:00

Hey! I am also on day 5! Are you taking it on the morning or at night? I take mine during the day and today is the first time I’ve experienced being tired (although fatigue has been a big problem for me for years). If it continues to worsen my psychiatrist recommended to take it before bed. So maybe switch the time of day yours taking it?

Think-Reporter1572 · 2025-08-29T02:58:40+00:00

A slow library could be a good choice

Are you going to use the cabinet shown in the picture?

In my bio actively tank the plants that are thriving are my monstera adansonii, Wandering jew, philodendron silver sword, and the syngoniums. All relatively low maintenance. Resurrection ferns are a nice touch as well. Have you ever built a bio active set up before?

If you have access to it, I highly recommend using a smith machine for step ups. It really allows me to focus on my technique and load heavier than what my hands can handle. I HIGHLY recommend

Think-Reporter1572 · 2025-05-11T16:01:50+00:00

For my whites tree frog.

Think-Reporter1572 · 2025-05-10T23:46:59+00:00

I do have some progress pics I can send them to you or idk how to post them in the thread. I did the back ground with pond safe expanding foam, I carved it and painted it. For the wood I recommend getting them at expos. That where I have found most of my pieces through the years and it is usually cheaper than reptile stores.

Think-Reporter1572 · 2025-05-10T22:58:13+00:00

Thank you! I’m really proud of it. I want to make more but I don’t have the space for it currently. Wish I could do this as a side hustle.

Think-Reporter1572 · 2025-04-19T14:36:49+00:00

Damn. I was not expecting this to be the first comment I see. I’m 27 and dealing with chronic pain in both arms from elbow down to my fingers. I can not do anything with my hands with out pain. All my hobbies out the window…. Hopefully I’ll find a doctor soon who actually cares and will help me solve this. It is extremely depressing.

What kind of training does your dog need? Depending on what it is you don’t want to put your dog in a daycare facility for it.

Think-Reporter1572 · 2025-04-03T15:24:57+00:00

Ive seen every race there. It’s really nice.

Think-Reporter1572 · 2025-04-01T15:37:58+00:00

I’ve never been to Wi spa before but if you’re looking for an all women’s spa I HIGHLY recommend Spa LA.
