Kensley Elwooda month agoMy boyfriend and I, who have been together for about a year and a half, are struggling with communication when it comes to my emotional struggles. We've both had mental health issues, but he’s been in therapy for a while, while I only recently got diagnosed and have had just a couple of therapy sessions. Today, we had an argument where he said that when I get upset, he feels like he’s walking on eggshells because he doesn’t know how to help me. He gets frustrated when I push him away, and I snap at him when he tries to "fix" things, which makes him even more upset. I know he just wants to help, but sometimes I need space, and I don’t want jokes or attempts to fix things when I’m struggling. I feel guilty after snapping at him because I don’t want to hurt him, but I just don’t know how to explain to him that I need some time alone when I’m upset without making him feel bad. How can I communicate this to him?138
