Thank you for sharing Lilleth. We kind of got into it yesterday because he got mad about some texts I sent him and when I told him the reason I text is because it's impossible to tell how he will react to anything he got pretty upset. He finally admitted that, while he was upset that I didn't directly talk, he did things to exacerbate the situation rather than solve it. If he feels threatened in any way he will resort to yelling, cussing...pretty much anything besides laying a hand on me. So while he says "just come and talk to me, I will understand" anytime I try he never reacts the way he says he will.
Tonight is a friend's birthday party and tomorrow he has the day off work so I think I will talk to him about weaning off Prozac. I feel like it really is worse with the meds. He goes overboard more often than he used to and when he does he gets more angry. I just hope he doesn't totally stop without tapering down the dosage because that could end up being a nightmare. At least he is starting to express that he is just anxious or nervous and I feel like he is starting to realize that when he feels like that it just comes out as anger.
Here is a recent example. He bought that stupid Halo game that just came out. For like a week straight he played it which didn't bother me. But after that I said okay, that's enough. Time to get back to spending time with me and putting the game down sometimes. He apologized, said he didn't realize how he was treating me and put the game away and everything was fine. Well then he is playing it for like 10 minutes about a week later and starts using words that I really hate whenever he dies or anything. I told him that I would really appreciate it if he wouldn't use those words around me and he went nuts! Started cussing and screaming over something so silly. Then, 5 minutes later is apologizing and totally calm. I just don't get how someone can change such extreme moods so quickly.
