I’m trying to work out what’s causing my anxiety and not being able to sleep

[AmosLewis]

I can’t work out if it’s my job as I’m not happy there anymore.
I don’t know if it’s my partners irratic moods (no violence) just strange moods. Like he’s quiet, then depressed then bouncing off the walls.
Ps I’m out of my DV relationship but still very unsettled in this one. He’s lovely but is very all over the place and has episodes of not working and drinking daily.
I don’t sleep since I have been with him which is a few years now. It’s always like I’m waiting for our relationship to start. He lives with me but I don’t feel content and I can’t put my finger on it.

I'm really sorry to hear you're going through this tough time. I can totally relate to the feeling of not being able to pinpoint exactly what's causing your anxiety and sleeplessness. Jobs can be stressful, but relationships, especially ones with erratic emotional patterns, can weigh heavily on our well-being. The complexity of your partner's moods might be adding to your stress, even if he is generally a good person.

You might want to consider speaking to a mental health professional about what you're going through. Sometimes, an outside perspective can offer valuable insights. So, mental health hotline is a great resource to start with, especially when you're feeling overwhelmed and need immediate support.
