I don't mean to push him away or make him feel bad, I just can't control myself sometimes. He's the only person I trust wholeheartedly and the only person who knows about all of issues, besides my doctor. I don't always want to burden him with my emotions and problems.

I hope I can learn to deal with all of these different emotions I have, for both myself and for him because I know how hard it must be on him
Hey Teacup,

It sounds like your hubby is pretty understanding, and it's such a precious thing to have someone you totally trust. Maybe just talk to him and explain what's going on as you did here?

I'm not sure if everyone would agree, but I really think that being irritable or angry all the time is usually a symptom of depression. If you can find a way to become un-depressed, the anger and irritation will go too.
