Panic, low self esteem and swinging

Last night was probably the lowest I'd been in awhile.

I've been in a long term relationship for almost 7 years, and we've always swung on and off. Last night was the first time we swung since a huge fight that almost ended the relationship.  I keep thinking about last night over and over again. I feel lesser than. I feel ugly.ive gained a few kilos over the past few months and that's made me feel older and unattractive.

Hi.

I think your concerns are more relationship issues rather than mental illness. Just my opinion.

Hi there headspace

 

Welcome to Beyond Blue.

 

How have things been since you posted?   Have things ‘righted’ themselves again or is it a case of things being still a bit rocky?

 

When things happen that have been particularly horrible, it’s almost a human trait that we think about whatever it was – to go over and over it in your mind;  to think, ‘gee, if only I’d said this’, ‘… or that’, etc.   But in a lot of these cases, as time moves along, we tend to stop the thinking/worrying side of things and move on.

 

Would love to hear back from you.

 

Kind regards
