Prayer Request
I need prayer for my mental health, when things go wrong I get really agitated, upset and everything gets overwhelming, I try to distract myself by watching a programme or doing chores and sometimes helps but not working isn't helping either, I've applied for jobs and had no responses from any of them which frustrates me so its not like I'm not trying to improve my situation, I need peace of mind, need god to give me strength, the motivation and to be able to cope with his help. also need my partner to be a bit more supportive, I know he has his own mental health to deal with but helping with the chores a bit more would ease the load so need god to help him realise that and to put my feelings into consideration, we have made a compromise that he can go to play pool with his mates once a week to have that space he needs but just feels like I'm not his priority as much.

Rather than just telling your mate to help around the house, tell him you NEED help and tell him exactly what job(s) he needs to do. Sometimes men don't know what to do if we just use general terms. Tell him specifically what to do, whether he should wash or dry dishes, vacuum the living room, etc. Also, please consider talking with a different counselor. Whenever it seems like "everything" agitates us, there's usually just one issue at the heart of the matter. A counselor can help you get to the bottom of it (it's often not what we think it is) and then help you handle it in positive ways. I just stopped and asked the Lord to help you. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
