So I grew up in a family that didn't not share how they were feeling about things and we were expected to just accept and deal with things and try and be upbeat and positive so that's what I've tried to do in my life. So the problem is as I've gotten older that isn't working anymore. I stuff things and then they simmer until I finally explode. I am currently in a realtionship and have tried to share my feelings more but I finally get to a point where I'm so upset about these things I get angry, irritable, am snippy and want to avoid the people I'm frustrated with. I don't want to talk to them or anything. I just had a very upsetting and frustrating weekend with my boyfriend but I couldn't really talk to him because our kids were around. So I got angry and asked him if he wanted to go home and he said yes which made me even angrier. So now we aren't talking to each other. I'm already in therapy so I will talk to my therapist about this, but I'm wondering if anyone else is experience this and has any advice.
