Dear Diary, I acted a bit of a fool this morning towards my partner. I took my frustration with myself out on her, but it gets so difficult when I fee like I can't say certain things to her without triggering her. The feelings she has are valid, I can't blame her forher trauma and what's happened to her, but I feel a bit lonely knowing she doesn't respond well when I am looking for reassirance or have a simple question. I feel sometimes it's better to keep what I feel inside of me because I want to protect her. I know that's unhealthy, but it's so difficult when I can feel her energy. It's a challenge being with other people. I often feel it would be easier to be alone so I can avoid that conflict.
