Open Healthy Relationships

I love my boyfriend very much and I think he's wonderful, but there are things about him that really bother me....

Treatments

Patience Too Soon to Tell

I hope that maybe over time I'll feel more okay with certain things about him.

Talking Somewhat Helpful

We talk but I still am deeply bothered by certain things.

Writing Not Working

I want to talk to someone about what really bothers me about him, but I'm too paranoid to feel comfortable sharing what really bothers me most and how I really feel about it.

Open Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

I have permanently damaged my hands from washing them so much.

Open Paranoia

I want to have friends, but sometimes I'm too paranoid to open up to anyone because I'm suspicious of their motives and/or I think they'll betray or make fun of me.

Open Phobia

I am afraid of germs.

Open Stress Management

Lots of things bother me that don't seem to bother most people and/or they bother me more than other people.

Open Anger Management

I'm not good at dealing with anger or stress, and I tend to take it out on my boyfriend and/or in inappropriate ways.

Open Agoraphobia & Social Anxiety

I have mild Social Anxiety, partly because I'm not good at / not sure how to make friends. I don't know how to talk to people I don't know, and sometimes I feel like I don't even know how to talk to people I do know.

Open Anxiety

I'm not good at dealing with unfamiliar/uncomfortable situations. I often just run away, especially if everything doesn't fit perfectly the way I want it to.

Treatments

Breathing Exercises Somewhat Helpful

Often when I freak out, I feel like I'm cornered, and it's like I get claustrophobic and start hyperventilating. I try to calm myself by breathing calmly.

Positive Thinking Somewhat Helpful

I try to imagine myself in my happy place (a room I dreamed up with things that are calming to me) and remember that my boyfriend always tells me that everything will be okay.

Open Trichotillomania (Hair Pulling)

I used to pull hair out of my head in high school. I have managed to stop doing that, but it's still a struggle at times. I do, however, still pull out hairs from other parts of my body.

Open Depression

I'm not content with much in my life right now, and sometimes I just feel like none of it's going to get better, which makes me stop doing anything, and then nothing does get better and I feel awful and I don't know what to do or how to survive.

Treatments

Positive Thinking Working / Worked

I try to remember to tell myself that nothing will get better if I don't keep trying. And that by trying, stuff will get better.

Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked

My boyfriend is always very supportive of me and cheers me on and reassures me that everything's going to be okay.

Open Dry Eyes

I constantly squeeze my eyes 'cause they hurt. I'm not sure if they're dried out, and I guess I've never thought they were, so I haven't tried using eye drops.

Open Personality Disorders

I don't think I've ever officially been diagnosed with any personality disorders, but I believe I have a few, at least mildly.

Open Family Issues

I live in a house full of issues, and I feel there is little I can do to change anything.

Treatments

Talking Somewhat Helpful

I talk to my boyfriend about stuff that bothers me in the house. I usually feel better knowing he knows what bugs me and/or if it bugs him, too.
