Hi im mizztwisted.
ok to start im a 24yr old woman I have a great boyfriend but our year started out shitty.
My boyfriends mother died and other shit things happened
Im off track my boyfriends sisters both got pregnant 1MONTH APPART. I want kids as ive been in this relationship nearly 5yrs three of those engaged to him.
Jealousy made me think about hurting them then I started slamming butter knives in my hand (not breaking the skin mostly causing bruises). My boyfriend is sick of me complaining about how much I want kids and how jealous I am of his older sisters
This thread is to allow me to ask for help or ways to stop the negative thoughts that circle me day after day

Hi MizzT, welcome to the forums.
Inclination towards motherhood is a natural instinct. So I understand it must be difficult for you if your sisters in law are satisfying that need while yours remains unfulfilled.
Do you mind telling us what the problem is ? Do you find it difficult to conceive or is your partner not ready to be a father ? Is fear of commitment an issue for him ? Sorry about the questions but knowing a little more about the situation would help us point you in the right direction and offer adequate support.
It sounds like your thoughts have become a bit too obsessive for comfort. For both of you. Have you thought of counseling to help you manage this difficult situation ? Would your partner agree to a joint session ? An in depth talk with a neutral professional can make a bit difference. It also avoids emotional outbursts that easily end 1 on 1 conversations into confrontation.
This is obviously causing you both a lot of distress. Well done for finding the courage to reach out for help, a wise and brave decision.
Good to have you on board.
