So my partner is forever worried about my mental health issues - but I don't have the vocabulary to talk about them just yet. And when I feel bad, I'm not exactly in the mood to parse feelings.
I've been thinking about giving her a little notebook with cartoons that explain how it feels in my head at those times, to help her understand. But it's not exactly the most feel-good kind of gift. Do y'all think it's a good idea, or a terrible one? I'm drunk, so really, wiser minds should prevail
@tats It is an excellent idea. Helping your partner to understand what's going on in your head so they can help you appropriately when things are bad for you is something you should absolutely do. When you're sober.
@DialMforMara ooh. That's a good way of looking at it. I was worried about it being g such a wet-blankety kind of thing - "hi! I have a gift for you! It will make you feel bad/sorry for me/worried. You're welcome!" but I suppose it is better than unformed shut-out worrying.
Tomorrow. When sobriety hits.
