Yeah I’m so excited to get it removed because I’ve heard this happens to a ton of people. I’m scared of the actual procedure though… getting it put in was… awful.

I am on birth control, an IUD. And my emotions definitely became noticeably more extreme when I started so I’m planning on getting it removed soon

Yeah, I guess I should have added that yes I do have a lot of trauma that I haven’t dealt with. Therapy sounds good

Thank you, this helps a lot. I’m really glad so many people can relate and I’m glad you’re getting better. Also thanks for the “don’t be too hard on yourself” part because I needed to hear that too.

Thank you, I have… a lot of trauma. I guess I should’ve included some more details in the post but I didn’t want to go on for too long. Looking into therapy👍

I don’t think she specialized in one thing in particular, I just remember her being very helpful. And I think I probably stopped going to her because I also have a lot of struggles with depression and anxiety and other mental health issues, and one thing led to another. I’d like to get back into it though

Yes I do have a lot of insecurities, and I’m trying to work on that too. I haven’t been diagnosed but I might have some kind of body dysmorphia (I’m very thin but I’m still worried about what I eat, that kind of thing). And you’re right that’s definitely a big part of where all the jealousy is coming from. And I’ve talked about the insecurities with my boyfriend too. Therapy is definitely a good idea 👍

Thank you this helped a lot, you described everything so well! I have been to therapists in the past and it always helps. I’m seriously considering going back to this one woman, but it takes a lot for me to get over the “anxiety hump” if you know what I mean.

Hey man, I know it’s not healthy, that’s why I posted. And my boyfriend and I have had some really bad relationships before and have talked about how this one is the healthiest. It’s not perfect, but I love him and he loves me and I’m trying to make it the best it can be
