Hey there. Just posting for some advice on the topic of my psych issues and their effect on my relationship. My fiancee knows I have problems, she knows more than anyone else does about them but can't seem to recognize that they're caused by natural things, not triggers. She seems to think that she can 'save' me from them and when they come back she feels personally slighted. So when we're laying in bed and she asks me if I've been feeling sane I'll tell her I have in order to prevent her from getting angry and upset, I do it to protect her. Well, this morning I wrote a short story about an encounter I had with one of my hallucinations and she was furious that I hadn't told her about it and I explained why. I explained that I hid these things from her to protect her and to keep her from getting angry.

What should I do in this situation as it seems both sides of the coin make her angry? I know the honest, clean cut thing to do would be to tell her everything so that I wouldn't be lying to her but is that what's necessarily the best thing to do?
