Feel like crying

Jillian

Lately I’ve just been down in the dumps. My depression and anxiety has got pretty bad due to everything going on in the world. My boyfriend and I have been arguing over stupid things like I have trouble sleeping and toss and turn a lot and it wakes him up. I don’t mean to but then I hear I never can sleep because you’re constantly waking me up. Since hes been out of work due to the virus he stays up till 4 am and then goes to sleep. I get up around 7/8 and I go and get something to eat so I can take my medication. I try to be quiet but doesn’t always work so then I never hear the end of it. So while he is sleeping in the morning I’m wide awake and want to start my day and I try to keep up with the house work because our allergies are bad but then he says I wake him up. I’ve been with him for four years and I love him but sometimes I’m just at the breaking point. I try to communicate with him but he seems to have trouble communicating it’s never been his strong point. Lately I’m just feeling unappreciated, unloved. I don’t have anyone else to really talk to because a good chunk of my family is toxic and I’m trying to work on my mental health and be healthy. I’m not leaving my boyfriend because of this so please don’t say to do that. We never fight this much so I’m guessing a big part of this is all the stress with everything going on. But I just need some advice or something. I decided to sleep on the couch so I could have my space and alone time, honestly it feels peaceful and nothing else matters.
