Can someone tell me about their mindset when single?
I guess my question is that things seem more stable in the single times..when acquaintances are around there's no rage or emotional issues. 

In a relationship is when the anxiety spikes, its when the depression hits, when the neediness comes out, when the anger at minor issues comes out. The anxiety spills from the confines of the relationship to day to day life. Suddenly friends and family are being lashed out at because depression and anxiety are speaking now. Eventually the relationship ends..either they're split black..or they leave willingly. A few weeks pass and the shock/emotions of the relationship ending have faded...and the anxiety and depression are washed away. Things are fine again.

Until of course, the emptiness drives the pattern to start again.

Can anyone relate to this at all? Maybe personal happiness isnt at a peak when single, but life is more stable. Intimate relationships send everything into overdrive-self-sabotage mode
