Need advice on how to fix things after fight.

So yesterday I got in a bit of an arguement with a guy that I have been seeing for quite some time now. It all started because of my own insecurities and fears, and instead of dropping it after I left for work. I ended up texting him later about it. My meds had worn off by this point and I could not control my impulses, I just kept texting. Mostly with me freaking out that I ruined everything, and asking for reassurance that it was ok. At one point he did text "yes its fine, just zip it" and I still kept going. He kept saying to stop talking about it already, and I couldnt stop, I just kept going. Finally he texted "you started all this, you deal with it however you want". I still couldn't stop texting him trying to explain myself and asking for reassurance, I probably sent another 5-6 texts, of course by this point I have completely annoyed him and created all sorts of complications and drama which is exactly what he doesnt want. So he didn't respond back again. I have had this happen a couple times before with him, just not as severe since all the previous times I stopped talking, dropped the subject, and then everything was fine. This time I could not stop myself and I am so worried that I completely ruined things. I am so upset that I didn't leave it alone, and I dont want to bring it up again, because I know he is done talking about it and I'm afraid that if I try to say anything to apologize or explain myself again then it will just make things worse. But I dont know how to fix this blunder and I really dont want this to be the end of things. I could just kick myself for this. I hate the problems that my impulsivity has created in my life. I havent texted him at all today and I don't plan to since I do think it would be best to back of a little today and let the situation cool. But I do want to fix this. I dont want him gone from my life, cause he is one of the best things in it, I just dont know what to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

advice on how t fix things

.This is a horrible feeling. I think you are doing the right thing by backing off but needs to be more than for the day. Its hard to say without knowing the whole story like does he even know about the a.d.h.d? I think I would take the risk and stp trying to fix it. It would be very hard but you should now wait and let him call you. I will tell you one thing is that there are not very nany people who realy accept our behavior even if they understand. I have a bad feeling about the words "zip it". I think that is degrading and disrespectful. I think more times than not we allow ourselves to be doormats because we feel there is no one out there that is better and would want us. Stand tall with your chin up and this will get you further than calling and trying to "fix it"

Good Luck Madelyn

"fixing" things

Boy! Can I relate! I believe very intently that "zip it" is unacceptable. You are not a naughty child. Having spent 10 years with a very abusive man I can tell you that this is not a good sign. No one would leave you feeling like this if he really loved you. I know that is hard to hear. Your groveling (as I said, I've done it too) just gives him the upper hand but I do understand your need to feel understood. I think it all comes down to having faith in yourself and knowing in your heart that YOU know your motives and "God" or the universe knows them too and you can only hope and pray for the strength to deal with whatever happens. Keep yourself busy and don't call him! Good luck!
