Am I overreacting?
Relationship Stress / by Hmr89

...See more My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 6 years. A few weeks ago we got into an argument because he wanted me to meet one of his work friends. He was helping him do work on his farm and I was to hang out with this guys wife. I have social anxiety and I've never met these people before. I didn't want to go. Also it's worth mentioning that I wasn't asked to go, I was told I was going. Anyway, I refused to go. I didn't feel comfortable sitting there all day with someone I didn't know especially without my bf with me. He said I was being childish. He tried to guilt me into going. Said his friend already thinks I'm coming and he's gonna be mad if I didn't go. Ever since then my bf has been weird, or maybe I just saw him in a different light after that. He's been treating to break up with me on multiple occasions since then over stupid stuff. He just called and told me he wanted me to wear a sundress all day tomorrow, out in public. Said sundress is spaghetti strapped and show a lot of skin that I dont want everyone seeing. I told him I'll wear it around the house but i don't feel comfortable wearing it outside the house. He said how are you supposed to feel more comfortable if you don't meet new people or wear something other than shorts, jeans and tshirts? I really just want him to respect my boundaries without questioning them. Am I overreacting? Do I have a right to be upset? And is he right about me needed to get out of my comfort zone?

Journaling

...See more I've been super overwhelmed for a while now. My mind just constantly races. I journaled when I was younger. I'm not sure why I stopped. For the past week and a half I've been trying make a habit of it again. It used to work fine for me but it doesn't seem to have the same effect on me now. It helps in the moment, like if I'm upset about something. It just doesn't seem to clear my head like I was hoping for. Does anyone have any suggestions?
