Sitting here feeding my 6 month old beautiful boy and I’m crying and I can’t stop. My partner just picked me up on being defensive again for something or other. I do or say something defensive or not in support of what he says and then he Goes off on one and today he looked at me like he’s disgusted with me, like I’m a piece of shit on ground. I can’t help but get upset, I always get tearful and I can’t stpp myself. How do I get help for being a defensive person? Why am I this way? I feel like I’m shit and horrible and useless to everyone. I don’t feel depressed every day but most days i can’t handle stress well if it occurs and there is so much negatives about me and hardly any good things. I’ve got friends but none of which know the real me I guess. So many things wrong I don’t know where to start. I just wish I had someone to talk to right now

It sounds to me that you have been told, by your DP, so many times that you are something (defensive, emotional, sorry for yourself) that you believe him.

Have you ever thought he might be turning the blame on you deliberately?

You said something like "I always say the wrong thing" but is it really yo say something he doesn't want to hear?

And "he says it makes him feel bad when I'm crying, I'm too emotional" or should he maybe not be laying into you then you'd have no need to cry?

Does he like your family, your friends? Does he encourage you to spend time doing things you enjoy?

I am feeling better today thank you. We had a chat and I can understand some of his points and I raised some issues too but I’ll have a think about posting a thread in relationships once my head is clearer on the matter. Thanks for everyone’s support, I just felt so alone and I felt a bit better having a place to vent.
