I feel like I’m always on edge at home

I feel like I’m constantly trying to judge what mood they’re in and whether they’ve been drinking.

It’s exhausting and I don’t feel like I can relax properly anymore. I don’t know if this is normal or if I’m just overreacting.

I really relate to this. I used to feel like I was constantly trying to read the situation as well.

What helped a bit was focusing more on how I was feeling rather than trying to work out what they were doing. It didn’t fix everything, but it took some of the pressure off.
