Anyone else struggling at the moment?

[ArthurandGeorge]

I really am. Dp and I have had an awful year. I need it to get better next year or we will have to split up. I am really struggling to hold it together, biting my tongue over the things that annoy me, because of the time of year etc. I keep feeling like I am living some sort of double life, keeping all of my true feelings inside and then acting like things are ok. It is doing my mental health no good at all and I am terrified that I might ridiculously explode at some really inappropriate social situation. Help!

Breath and relax, breath and relax, breath and relax.....

Now, so you've had a shite year and it's still feeling shite? You feel like you're going to explode with... boiled up resentment, stress, anxiety over the future?

I know how it feels to try to keep up the act of happy families it's a real strain. But if you can just put it to one side for the next few days and promise yourself that you'll face it and make some proper decisions in the new year it might help.

Hope you have a decent few days, but remember you are in control ultimately and can sort it out when you are ready.
