The Gift
Imagine there is a bank which credits your account each morning with $86,400, carries over no balance from day to day, allows you to keep no cash balance, and every evening cancels whatever part of the amount you had failed to use during the day.
What would you do?

Dr. Nina,
I am confused about this guy I am dating. He has severe mood swings and it wears on me. I never know what mood he will be in when I see him. I know he has stress with school and his family. I feel bad for him because I know he is going through a lot of stuff. This past weekend we went out and we got in a fight and he said some really hurtful words to me, calling me "stupid, dumb and more ugly things. I know he will apologize for them because he always does but I find myself more and more depressed the longer I am with him. What can I do to make myself feel better about it all?
Danielle
Danielle,
The only way you will feel better is to get out of this relationship. I know it's easy to say this and very hard to do because you care a lot about him.
However, I am concerned for your overall well being and self esteem. He may have many problems but it doesn't give him an excuse to take it out on you. You are his girlfriend not his emotional punching bag.
It sounds like you are in an emotionally abusive relationship and every time he goes through one of his "moods" he apologizes afterwards and then the entire situation is repeated. This is a typical cycle of an abusive relationship.
Don't think you can change him because you can't. This is up to him to do on his own. He is not the guy for you and the longer you stay with him the worse it will get. Please seek counseling to get you out of this relationship and get the support you need.
Dr. Nina
