My girlfriend has been diagnosed for 2 years. She can't afford therapy or anything yet and it's taking a toll.

I can tell when it kicks in. She gets monotone. Short. Annoyed. I ask her to please express her feelings but she tells me "nothing" 600 times. So i give up. Then, something miniscule will happen, like me leaving a sock on the floor, and she will then finally let it all out. Why not just tell me when I try to ask? This is difficult, I can't lie.

She says i get mad when she tells me how she feels. I see that as a common theme on this sub. No, I dont get mad because of that. I get mad when it gets taken out on me after I've done everything till that point to be calm and cooperative. Sometimes she even gets physical. So yes, I lose my cool. Who wouldn't?
