I have a lot of insecurity in my relationship (& I've been married for 34 years!). Inside I am always looking for clues that he hates me, will leave me, etc. I imagine a lot of things & then get hurt by the things I imagine.

In therapy I'm trying to address all these sometimes irrational thoughts--major insecurities & fears on my part. I am in treatment for bipolar, but also grew up in a chaotic family with my mother being bipolar & commiting suicide & my dad being an alcoholic. So I'm always inventing a "crisis" because that is what I am used to--there was always a crisis going on in my childhood home.--Suzy
