I'm angry for people expecting so much of me when I'm having such a hard time. I'm feeling guilty for being so angry, especially at family, for never understanding. I'm going through what I think is a mixed state and I feel like screaming in the face of the next person who tells me that I seem perfectly fine. I am very high functioning most of the time so usually my husband is the only one who really knows what's going on with me. And even he doesn't really understand how I feel. He's the most understanding patient guy, yet I still leave him cursing under his breath and walking away from me when I'm literally yelling at him telling him I need help. He says I'm the only one who can help myself, he can't help me. But sometimes I could just use some silent comfort. So tired of trying to explain myself to people who will never understand and getting those responses like "well, everyone had mood swings sometimes. You should be fine." Or my personal favorites "stop being so dramatic" or "you're overreacting."
