I sure can identify with some of your frustrations. I've been through a lot of them on and off over the years. And worrying about your mate doesn't help.
Best of luck to you and be sure to let us know how things progress.  |
I apologize to you, Energy. Here at PsychCentral we use so many abbreviations for things I forget to use the full term when explaining things to a new member. MI means mental illness. What I was referring to was the depression and anxiety you experienced coming into your relationship and then the situational things that developed periodically along the way. When you have only one person struggling with mental illness it is a hard challenge but both people either together or one after another can truly shake up a relationship. Therapy can definitely help a lot and can really help if both of you go together and coordinate your efforts to create a plan to deal with those extra difficult times.
I wish you the best of luck in dealing with this.
