I am a regular mumsnetter who has had a quick name change and many of you may recognise me but please dont say if you do to protect dp's identity. thanks.
I am worried about DP, he has told me he is feeling really low and finding it really hard to control his anger. He says he would never hurt his family but he's scared one day he will flip.
He is 21 and has alwways had an unusally laidback approach to life and nothing could ever ake him angry but now he has a bad temper tha the is finding it difficult to control.
He had a bad up bringng with violence and verbal abuse and is now not in contact with him mom and his dad who left and then turned up again when he was 13 we speak to about 2-3 time a month.
We have had one hell of a rough 12 months, he is about to loose his job, we have had close family illness to come to terms with and he has completley stopped contact wiht his mother and she has stoopped him cintacting his brother and sister. He is also going to the hospital tomorrow to undergo a biopsy on some moles, he has a long line of cancer sufferers in his family so he is worried about that.
He is also having physical symptoms which im not sure if they are related, he gets hot sweats/flushes and whenhe gets them he says he feels really ill and he shakes quite badly to like i say im not sure if they are tying in with the depression.
He keeps asking me for help and as a long suffering manic depressive i fell i could and should do something but m not sure what, i have always told him he can talk to me about anything and he does ocassionally and i have made him a gp's appointment for monday which i ill go with him for.
Our DS is well and truley in the terrible twos and he's finding his behaviour a real challenge i think he is worried he will snap and smack ds to hard or something.
Im not sure what to do for him except be there for him.
Im not sure if it even is depression, i think it is but i think its coming out in anger where things that would normally not bother anyone are really winding him up.
He feels really bad that he can't help feeling like this.
