So because we're quarantined together, we're together all the time. But when I'm going through intense emotions like anger or sadness, I recognize that those feelings are coming and to work through them on my own I need some space alone. Today I felt a wave of sadness and panic coming through and I wanted to be alone for a bit. I went to our room and locked the door (because I knew he'd try to come in), he tried to come in, I said I need to be alone for 15 minutes only and to respect my wishes, that it's not about him and that I need some alone time and space to process these emotions. He pushed to come into the room saying 'this is also my room, you can't keep me from coming in here, I need stuff from here.' I said I can give him that stuff but to please understand and leave for a bit. He became all sad and just came in to come in (didn't even need anything from the room), asked me if it was about him again, I said no, and to please respect my wishes and leave me alone for just a little bit. He became angry and slammed the door as he left. I want to not let these feelings affect him. He knows I need alone time to process those feelings and that it works when I take time. How am I supposed to practice DBT skills and take some time to process my emotions if I'm not even allowed the space to do so? The quarantine has been hard and I have had no space to myself, it made me feel panic and then all the feelings of sadness from the thought of not being able to see my family came through. I just wanted to cry it out and give myself some space. I didn't even get that. What do I do? (also note that all day I've been dealing with very intense period cramps to the point of almost passing out twice, so I really needed some space to heal)
