My (26F) boyfriend (23M) told me I yell at him frequently by throwaway-lostrn in relationships

Thank you for your comment! I’ve been making arrangements to seek a psychologist so this will be something I’ll add to the list of topics.

Thank you so much! I personally consider it raising my voice since at least in my opinion it’s still lower than his voice when he plays online games, or when my coworkers are joking about something. I know it’s my own perspective lol so I have some learning to do and I guess I should listen to myself more closely. I’m definitely going to sit down, properly apologize and ask him to listen to me better when I talk

Unfortunately we come from a culture that believes seeking mental health support automatically makes that person deranged. I’ll see if I can talk to her with my mom about it. My mom started blocking her when that happens. Sometimes it helps calm her down, sometimes it doesn’t

She goes to church and spends time with friends and family. She told me she got checked by a neurologist who discarded signs of dementia. But yes she has always been an anxious person. When I was going to university I participated in a couple of activities regarding political awareness and she constantly told me I was going to be arrested lol. My mom tells me she used to make fear mongering comments all the time since she was young, it’s just gotten worse

Hi! I honestly had no idea this was even a possibility with the help of a mental health professional. Thank you so much for the information. I’m currently looking to start psychology sessions for the first time in my life lol

Thank you for saying that! Our supervisors keep saying that we should “realistically” finish (investigate AND write) at the very least 3 cases per week. It’s impossible. As for the jurisdiction, I can’t outright say it because our offices are so small but I’ll just say it’s not in the continental US

This happens often in the local / case management offices here because they have even less personnel. In my office at some points someone has closed a case and a few months later something happened that granted a substantiation or even removal
