Last year was pretty rough. He was there when I tried to kill myself like 5 times. He works as a paramedic so is pretty hardy but is hurt very emotionally and easily by me. We had a fight that lead into a pretty constructive and honest conversation last night and I told him that I think he has PTSD from it all. I’m a lot better now and am generally in control of myself and my emotions but whenever I get the slightest bit upset even if it’s totally valid and reasonable he gets completely scared and over reacts and immediately thinks I’m freaking out or breaking down. I understand it and I feel sorry for him and guilty that I’ve put him in this position because I did used to break multiple times a day but I offered him plenty of outs and he ran after me every time so I’m not drowning myself in the guilt. The problem is I know I’m not freaking out and he’s telling me I am and it stunts my recovery and feels like gaslighting even if he has no idea what he’s doing. I don’t really know what to do and was wondering if anyone has experience with this. He came along with me to one of my DBT sessions once and it wasn’t unhelpful so I’m considering trying that again.
