I felt for her in this episode. I was her in my marriage. Yes, I needed help properly regulating my emotions, but when I tried to communicate to my husband what I needed, he would never hear me or validate my feelings. He just made it about him and he would get defensive and shut down. It literally made me insane and one night I slammed a door so loud after screaming at him. I had an anxiety attack at work the next day. I had tried therapy but didn’t like my therapist so I quit. I apologized for my behavior but I cried and cried to my husband that I needed help and didn’t know what to do. He told me he couldn’t help me, I had to figure it out.
Anyways my marriage only lasted a year. I got a new therapist whom I love and I’m learning how to regulate my emotions better as well as how to properly communicate. But I also understand now that a lot of my anxiety and behavior with my husband was because of him and who he is. He brought out the worst in me. Wish I never married him but at least I’m out of it now and moving on.
