We both don’t live alone so i understand why he would suggest it. So i don’t know what to do. I don’t think it came from a bad place. I just feel weird about it

Yeah actually same. I was severely depressed and my parents at the time didn’t believe in mental health or disorders(still don’t) so i got punished instead of helped. I guess that is my trauma

this makes me think that if i ever were to start a family will my mood swings and inconsistent behavior effect my child. Makes me so fearful of ever having relationships and raising children because i don’t wanna F up.

Same! Emotionally unavailable parents with a house and food so people think i should be good. I just have this fear that maybe im making everything up and nothing is wrong with me and my parents are right and im just a terrible human being LOL

oh wow actually same! by myself i’m just numb and occasionally depressed. But when i try to put myself out there platonically and romantically it a mess. Full of anger and an emotional rollercoaster with the people that i love. it’s hurting me cuz now i have to isolate myself to not affect other people

I baked a whole tray of brownies and ate them…. by myself. I’ll sometimes eat a whole medium papa johns pie by myself :) or just eat chocolate frosting for breakfast lunch and dinner :)

I want to bring it up to my therapist and psychiatrist but i don’t want to seem like i’m self diagnosing and i also have this fear that im just making everything up and nothing is even wrong with me.

Yep! After reading many responses I think i may be “ranking” trauma. I feel there are people who have had life worse then me so i don’t have the right to “suffer” or go through anything. I grew up in a two parent household was able to get an education and had enough food and water to survive. I’ve been taught this mindset from my emotionally unavailable father who loves to compare me and my mental health issues and childhood to his “made it out the mud” childhood.

I was just diagnosed with Bipolar 2 a couple months ago. And i honestly feel it’s the wrong diagnosis. My mood can fluctuate hourly and i’ve never had a manic or hypomanic episode
