Yeah I'm alright. 

I'm married - about 5 months ago. You have this dream that you know this person, there's not going to be problems anymore after this absolutely wonderful wedding day. My youngest son even came out of hibernation and gave me away !!

 

Then reality sets in. Actually, Iv been really struggling with my MH. - why am I so annoyed and frustrated concerning what my issues are ? 

 

I get it.via this message @Jynx sent someone - 

 

All emotions have an evolutionary purpose; they signify an unmet need or potential threat to survival."

What does THAT mean ?? 

  • So I put it in AI and holding the two people I'm reading - a couple's therapist called Terry Real and neaurologist called Dr James Doty, some lived experience info from @Glisten and @Oaktree @Bunniekins @TAB  @Dreamy  @StuF @@Glisten being a whacko brilliant Mum - its easy to overlook vulnerable family members -- 

 

I realised its easy to run around telling all " shes got a heard injury, shes really ill but not exactly understand my needs. Also what are my needs ? 

 

So, what are my needs ? I can run around telling im annoyed, us that my emotion what makes me so annoyed back to what @Jynx  writes. Is that me ? Am i an annoyed person ?

 

Im annoyed because - 

I look perfectly fine. Im high functioning. 

 

But no one understand my actual needs in the umberella of mental health. 

This us what im working out - why am i so annoyed. 

My heard injury gives me the path of vulnerability but why ?
