Hello everyone. I would really appreciate feedback from anyone and everyone who has any advice. I feel that its going to be hard to put all of my feelings into a post but I'll try as best as I can to explain myself. Im a 21 year old female. Ever since I can remember I have had a very snappy attitude to the people I am around all the time. In highschool it was my mom, now its my boyfriend of 3 years who I live with. I feel like whenever Im with my boyfriend Im on a short fuse or something. Its like I never want to joke around or laugh, Im always serious and very jumpy and agitated at literally everything he does or says. It makes no sense bc I love him and love being with him but for some reason I am very cold towards him. I have also noticed that in the past year my desire to have sex has decreased. I feel like an old woman or someone who is very unhappy bc I find myself looking at sex as a chore. It sad to say but I would rather sit on my couch and be bored than make love to my boyfriend. I also have little to no patience which leads me back to being agitated. Here is another thing that has started happening in the last Id say 6 months. I dont want to say that I think I have a food addiction even though I have put on weight. The problem is that as embarassing as this is for me to say, I feel like the only time Im happy and optimistic is when Im about to eat or when I know that Im going to go out to eat that evening. I have always enjoyed going out to dinner but lately its like if Im feeling kind of blah and I think about going home to my boyfriend and my dog and relaxing, or going shopping after work, or to work out, it does nothing for me. However if I think about going out to eat i get that happy elated feeling like I have something to look forward to. It really bothers me that I feel like more and more the only thing that makes me happy is food or the thought of eating. Anyways this is a summary of some of the problems Im facing and Im not sure if this is an actual disorder and what I can do to help myself without seeking help from a professional. Also Id like to add that I have noticed, in reading, that many people with disorders have reasons such as divorce, or job loss, etc. When I look at my life I dont understand why I feel these ways. Both my boyfriend and I have good jobs that we enjoy. Im healthy, I have just moved to a new place that I love, we have a loving dog and a great family. I dont know whats wrong with me

Nobody here can fully assess whether you have a disorder or not. If you have any doubts, see a professional, then can offer more insight and help than I :)

Well this site is very helpful, just not very active. I would recommend what Fatality said, except try talking to your bf first, because going to a shrink sometimes makes things worse and just puts a label on you. Personalllyy I knwo what you mean with the "short fuse" thing, smallest things make me angry or sad :I I always overinterpret things people do. like all they say is a simple word and I will go over it again and again trying to interpret their word choice and their tone and I keep thinking they are being mean and insulting. Actually maybe they are, but I don't think normal people make a big fuss of small things like that..
