Ugh, I've let my emotions get the better of me during a heated situation and I complained about the most important people in my life who I cherish dearly. I don't know what or who I'd be without them. SO - when I offload a bunch of negative mess, I feel so guilty for going behind their backs after everything we've been through.

These are the only people I have besides my therapist and grandparents who I rarely see. I feel so disappointed. The thing is, they don't make things easy because they can be so vicious which doesn't help me, my paranoia, my self-improvement OR my depression.

It sounds like you need to complain to them directly. When we keep negative thoughts inside, it hurts our relationships in the long run. If they are vicious when you tell them how you feel then they may be part of the cause of your depression. In close relationships, we rarely see eye to eye with people we love 100%. Maybe you just have trouble with confrontations like I do and that is part of your problem. Some people do not take criticism well. That is not right either....

I need to stop complaining, too. People hate to be criticized and they do become vicious and turn on you. I need to learn how to get what I want without blaming and complaining. I am severely guilty of complaining, too.

we tend to complain to other people when we stuff everything and don't tell someone directly how we feel, or what we need.

Although I agree with Hopingtrying, it only shows you are human. I have been guilty of the same thing. Can you talk to these people directly? Sometimes that's not possible. You can always come here and vent when you need to. Sending big hugs.
