I've been there. Not doing it again. Was to together for 3 years, was there for her in the psych ward and everything. She has bipolar. She got better but would relapse because she refused to take medicine and that's just unacceptable.
I mean I'm fucked up, and if I had a pill to help un-fuck me, I would take it religiously. lol.
I know how you feel my ex boyfriend was like that.. but I been broke up with him for three weeks now.
oh I've delt with all this before lol I've been depressed half of my life in all honesty i wouldn't say im currently depressed at least not like i was when i was younger but yeah I've also had low self esteem at points most people who are depressed may have experienced a lot of trauma in life or simply just over aware of the negative
I'm bipolar, personality disorder, PTSD, anxiety, depression... whew a lot. I know it's hard on my husband. But like you he deals with it the best he can. I didn't ask for this and would do anything to get rid of it. But I take meds counseling every week and do the best I can. We all need love. Hang in there what you deal with and try to live through means more than you will ever know ☺️
Depression and anxiety aren't too hard to deal with in a partner. I do so with my wife, and it really opens up my nurturing side. On the other hand uncontrolled bipolar disorder is sheer hell to live with, especially when combined with a personality disorder.
I have anxiety and depression. I don't think I could emotionally support a person with a mental illness if I was dating them. I already have a friend with that issue, I dont think i could handle a boyfriend like that. There's just too many problems of my own I have to deal with.
It sucks. It's kinda bittersweet but their mental illness always gets in the way of your happiness.
I've been married to my wife for 16 years. She has been diagnosed as Bipolar. Stand with the one you love through the hard times and the good times will be even better!
I was with you until you said “Depression is an imbalance of chemicals in the brain”
Personally I hate it when people go down this route. These are usually the people who push pills.
Lol it’s pretty interesting you think I’m being rude when all I’m doing is sharing my opinion.
Did I call you names? Laugh at you? Degrade you?
No, I shared my opinion. If you don’t like my opinion, done block me I don’t really care. Not trying to spark debate or anything.
Touchyyyyy.
Disagreeing with you =/= being rude
And it’s pretty short sighted to want to write something but insist no one think otherwise.
Bye.
I'm depressed and suicidal as well. Not willing to be with anyone now cause I have my exam coming up.
I have my own mental disorder it's called, I have no idea what I'm doing here.
Does anyone
Well I wish you luck. But be cautious of taking on more than you can handle. You are no good to anyone else if you become overwhelmed.
... good luck you'll need it.
I'm not really sure what age are you both. but as people age they get depressed easier.
Well one shouldn't love someone with a mental illness.
Tired that's how I felt.. I feel there is a weight off my shoulders now.
He’s lucky to have you then. I’m sure he is very loving and faithful to you in return.
I am very anxious and depressed and i promise you nobody loves me.😥
Sometimes we just feel that way because were thinking too much and need someone to pay attention and validate our feelings. If you were doing something besides waiting it wouldn't seem that way as much. I feel the same way and I promise someone loves you very much. Not only that I am positive there is some guy you know that is in love with you.
I dont really know my guess is probaly sadness in the inside and anxiety
Sorry to hear he's going through it all. Has he tried cognitive behavioural therapy?
I know he went to a behavior health unit and got anti depressants which he needs to get back on and he has a therapist
That's good progress. It is tough having anxiety and depression. You're a strong lady for standing by him.
Yea I know, I have depression to but not to the extent he does anymore.
Thank you, I really love him so it’s hard sometimes but I’ll always be there for him.
good you have found each other
thanks for sharing
I can't imagine that in my life... I'd lose it...
If they’re worth it no you won’t.
