Dear Madam
The adverse condition you went and going through is really very difficult to tackle with to most of us. Though it is easy to give advise but very difficult to follow.I don't know what you have decided for future. If you want to continue with current relationship then it is better to accept the reality and workout how this relationship can be improved for betterment. You can discuss the matter with your near and dear one if you are comfortable and confident as it is a social/ familial issue.
Being irritable and feeling humiliated is quite natural in such situation. Since you are having a fighting spirit learned out of these adverse life condition you will recover soon and it is matter of time. If you are having sleep/ appetite problem, concentration difficulty, fatigues, hopelessness, pessimistic thought then better consult qualified psychiatrist. For your condition combination of psychotherapy and medication may be a good option.
Some tips that may be helpful are- Cultivate supportive relationships(Turn to trusted friends and family members,Try to keep up with social activities even if you don’t feel like it), Challenge negative thinking (Think outside yourself,Allow yourself to be less than perfect,Socialize with positive people,Keep a “negative thought log"), Take care of yourself (Aim for 8 hours of sleep,Expose yourself to a little sunlight every day,Keep stress in check,Practice relaxation techniques),Get regular exercise, Eat a healthy, mood-boosting diet.
