hi everyone,
iam real upset tonite.. im hoping people are onto help me. i have been with my boyfriend for almost 8months.. Everything is going well but hes starting to become real angry.. yelling alot, saying he wants to hurt someone. His dad and other family members have bipolar.. He told me tonite that he was on meds awhile ago but got off of it. I wil give him credit because he did tell me he needs help and wants to seek a dr. I know he would never hit me, but hes real scary and when he has outbursts, he takes it out on me and yells at me.. tells me its over blah blah.. i guess iam his target because iam with him.. He did tell me he gets frustarted when i call him alot when hes working (hes a locksmith) I hope hes serious with getting help..
How can i help him? i know he needs a therapist and maybe be on meds again.. should we both go to counseling?

In my head...So in my last post, I talked about how me and my boyfriend of little over 4 months and me had our first squabble on Sunday. I appreciate your guys' feedback and see where I escalated and engaged in some very negative behaviors. Thank you!Since then we have been texting the same, but it is a little different. A lot of one word replies and being active on social media without replying...

I struggle with my confidence in bed. I am someone who is very much into almsot any and everything (with some exceptions) but for some reason, when it someone's to hooking up with someone new I always freeze. I get so nervous, no matter how bad I want it.how can I build my self confidence so I can get over this?
He also may need something as simple as an anger management or stress management group.
I would say that if he is annoyed about you calling him at work, give him some more space (even though you shouldn't have to feel like you're walking on eggshells all the time). I would also suggest that when he is angry and yelling, be calm and rational. Don't yell back and get into it with him because that might make it worse.
If I were you, I wouldn't tolerate his behavior for much longer. It's one thing if he goes and gets help and things start to improve. But if he doesn't end up getting help and this continues, it is definitely emotionally and verbally abusive. You shouldn't have to tolerate that- you deserve to be with someone who makes you feel good.
