 I am not saying that this applies to you, I think this maybe something you might want to look into or consider. For years people called me a drama queen! I would blow up over the littlest things, I would burst into tears, and it destroyed my life and nearly all of my relationships! I knew something wasn't right, that this wasn't "normal". After one massively humiliating public blow-up or "episode" as my family called it, I decided to look into help! I talk to my family doctor and he suggested I speak to a psychiatrist. She made me fill out a questionnaire and in the next visit she asked me random questions. My family and I were surprised that I have bi-polar. I needed to see a therapist weekly and the doctor gave me medications. It took a long time before we got the right medications for me, it was a lot of trial and error. My family was patient and supportive. This is not fixed over night and a person must be totally honest with the doctor. I was diagnosed 5 years ago and because I failed to be totally honest (I was embarrassed and thought people would think I was crazy) I wasn't properly medicated until a year and half ago. I take a 24 hr. slow release in the morning and I take 2 tiny pills at night to help me sleep. I have not been this relaxed or genuinely happy in years, I am still me, but just better to be around! I still have a temper, but I am no longer a time bomb and I have the tools that my therapist taught me and the medication helps my mind to actually use these tools to keep me in charge of my temper.
Good luck! Your not alone, we drama queens need to stick together *wink*.

 Hi sweet thing,
Well you've already done the hardest part. Most drama queens have no idea that they have a problem and spend their lives oblivious, driving people crazy. So knowing that you've got a problem with starting fights, insecurity and overreacting is such a huge step in the right direction!
I recommend checking out some counseling. No, I don't think you're crazy in the least, but I do think you could benefit from talking to a neutral party, and maybe find out why your past with a broken family affects you so much and causes you to distrust men. If you feel like your behavior is affecting your everyday life, your child and husband, counseling could help you figure out how to heal yourself and your family and give you some great guidance.
I wish you the best of luck!
