Dear questioner,
My name is Kelly.
I have taken the time to read your question several times, and I can see that you must be in a great deal of pain and unsure of why you feel this way.
Many people experience feelings of confusion and discomfort, and I have also felt this way. Let's discuss these feelings together in a constructive and understanding manner.
I've noticed that I've been feeling less and less like myself lately. I've also been losing my temper more often than I'd like, and I've been feeling more and more irritable. My husband is obviously very good to me, but I'm starting to feel increasingly insecure.
First of all, you are fortunate to have a husband who is very good to you, who is happy for you, and who can be understanding and tolerant when you lose your temper.
Insecurity can also stem from one's own feelings. It might be helpful to explore what happened in the past.
Could I ask you to consider why you feel insecure?
I studied psychology and gradually came to understand that our present circumstances are influenced by our past experiences.
1: Could you please tell me what we experienced during our growth process?
2: Could you please tell me a little bit about how your parents raised you?
3: Could I ask you to share any unhappy memories you may have kept inside you?
4: Could I ask whether you feel insecure? Do you work? Are you financially independent?
It's not uncommon for people to feel a bit insecure when they return to their families after getting married and temporarily stop working. I think it's something many people can relate to.
5: Might I inquire as to whether you have any hobbies that help you find yourself?
If you don't have one at the moment, that's okay. It's perfectly normal to take time to cultivate interests and hobbies. Be patient with yourself and give yourself the space to discover and feel.
It seems that you often find yourself in situations where you feel the need to discipline your child, and you don't feel any pain. You often tell yourself that you have to be good to your child, but as soon as your child does something wrong, you find yourself responding with a raised voice.
I sense that you may be experiencing some guilt. It's not that you don't feel pain, but that you may not fully recognize or acknowledge your feelings. It's possible that you're experiencing some emotional suppression, which can make it challenging to express your emotions.
I believe you love your child. Could I ask how old your child is?
It's not uncommon for new mothers to neglect their own needs after having a baby. They may experience a range of emotions that can be difficult to express. I can relate to this, as I went through a similar period after having a child. Seeking counseling helped me identify the root cause of my struggles and find ways to cope.
A counselor helped me realize that when I was a child, I was often scolded by my mother. After I had children, I found myself treating them in a similar way to how my mother had treated me. At the same time, my mother's parenting style also made me feel insecure.
Over time, I came to recognize that there were a number of underlying factors, including resentment, fear, and insecurity, contributing to my initial feelings of repression.
It's not that you're intentionally yelling and screaming, and you're unable to control it. If you're open to it, you can find a counselor and explore together what's behind the emotions.
You might also consider learning more about yourself by studying psychology.
It is not uncommon for children who have experienced physical or verbal abuse to develop negative associations and memories that can have a lasting impact on their mental health and well-being.
I was beaten a lot by my mother when I was a child, and at that time I always thought deep down that I must never hit or scold my child if I had one. So after I had my daughter, I hardly ever hit or scolded her. However, I have a bad temper and would scold my husband, and at that time I was unable to control it for some inexplicable reason.
However, I do feel a certain degree of guilt when I see my child afraid of my anger and her frightened appearance when she scolds my husband. I also sense that I may have emotional issues, so I have decided to find a counselor to explore myself.
"I often wonder if it would be better to remain married. I feel like there's nothing to look forward to. I'm so tired of life, so bored. I really don't know when I'll lose my temper and take a knife to my husband. I tell myself not to, for fear of hurting the children, but if I keep holding it, I'll get used to it and regret it.
In light of these considerations, I would like to suggest seeking the guidance of a professional counselor. There are several avenues through which this can be done.
1: Local hospitals have professional psychological outpatient clinics that may be able to provide assistance.
2: It might be helpful to seek the guidance of a professional counselor.
3: It would be helpful to understand our emotions better. Just as we can catch a cold and have a fever and a runny nose, our emotions need to be seen, channelled and comforted.
4: It would be wise to consider your own health as well, as anger can also harm your body. It's also important to remember that your child is still young and needs the protection of their parents.
5: Have you ever observed someone who was threatened with a knife when they were a child?
I empathize with your situation. I extend my support and encouragement to you. Given that you are facing challenges and have sought guidance from Yi Xinli, I believe you will find many teachers ready to offer guidance and support.
Your emotions are not functioning as they should, and it's not something you want. It would be helpful to support your emotions and recognize when they are angry. (It might be beneficial to seek the guidance of a psychologist to gain a better understanding of what's happening to you and why you're acting this way.)
When my temper arises, I find it challenging to control my emotions. I often experience difficulty sleeping at night and find it helpful to listen to music to help me relax. However, I sometimes keep the music on until dawn. I also tend to feel uneasy about sleeping alone at night and prefer to have someone with me when I go to sleep. I'm not sure what causes these feelings. My temper seems to be intensifying, and I find myself losing my temper with the children more frequently. I often feel irritable and in a bad mood. I'm seeking guidance on how to address these challenges.
Dear questioner,
It seems that you may be suppressing your emotions. If you were to realize this now, with the help of others or a counselor, you might find that you can improve gradually. There is no need to be afraid.
It might be helpful to remember that temperament can be quite stubborn. It's possible that the more she gets used to getting angry, the more she will use this method.
Not getting enough sleep at night can really affect your mood. Have you been feeling tired lately?
Have you considered the possibility of raising your child on your own after it is born? Have you thought about how taking care of a child might affect your ability to sleep well?
You also met a husband who is very good to you. You might consider letting your husband know that you are afraid to sleep alone, that you are emotional and could use his help in raising the children together.
It's possible that your inability to sleep well at night is contributing to your current mood. Alternatively, your mood may be influencing your thoughts at night, which in turn are causing you distress and worry. As we are unable to see the problem ourselves, it might be helpful to seek professional assistance.
If you are open to it, you can find solutions to the challenges you are facing. It is important to have faith in yourself.
We can all love ourselves and our families better.
Perhaps it would be helpful to take a moment to reflect on your past and see the confusion of the "child" who is now a mother.
We can all learn and grow together.
I would like to wish you a very happy birthday.

Have you considered speaking to a therapist? Sometimes talking things out with a professional can help us find healthier ways to manage our emotions and relationships.
It's important to recognize the signs that you're reaching your limit and take steps to prevent losing control. Perhaps establishing a routine or finding an outlet, like exercise or a hobby, could provide some relief. Reaching out for support from friends, family, or support groups might also be beneficial as you navigate these challenges.
The way you're feeling is not uncommon, and many parents experience stress and frustration. It's crucial to prioritize selfcare and seek help before the situation escalates.

Your safety and the safety of your child are paramount. If you feel unable to control your actions, it's vital to seek immediate assistance. Contacting a crisis hotline or consulting with a mental health professional can provide guidance on how to handle these intense emotions and ensure everyone's wellbeing.
