Handling defensiveness in relationships
Relationship Stress / by sociableSail5480

...See more I feel triggered when my bf asks about how I am doing at the gym. This is due to my own self esteem issues and not feeling good about my body. He asked this morning and I immediately felt defensive. I didn't blow up but he could sense that I got defensive. I apologized to him but he thinks it's on him. We've had issues discussing weight etc in the past and he thinks he shouldn't have asked no matter how politely he worded it (which he did) How can I handle my triggers better? I want him to be able to talk to me about anything even if it's something that is harder for me to discuss at times.

Anxiety-taking thing’s personally

...See more Hey everyone. I was hoping I could get some support and some advice (if allowed) If not, kind words are more than welcome. My bf called me this morning in a panic when I was driving to work because the set of keys I had, had the key to our storage unit and he needed something from it before we goes away for the weekend. In his panic he hung up before I could say goodbye. We texted later and he told me he wasn’t blaming me (which is true). He wasn’t yelling either he was flustered I suppose. But my anxious brain immediately thinks “He’s upset with me. This is my fault” etc I hate that I think this way. Luckily I have a session with my therapist today and I will talk to her about it, I just needed to vent about it now. Anyone else relate to taking thing’s personally?

...See more Long story short-someone who I have strong feelings for is moving across the country. Him and I spoke and he we both made it clear we’d see something long term with each other it’s just not good timing. He’s got to leave for his job and start a new chapter of his life. I saw him on the weekend and got to say goodbye-I’ve felt sad ever since. Any words of encouragement would help. I know I’ll meet my person one day-but for now I’m just feeling down.
