I was thinking of maybe double therapy for my friend and i also. Im doing ok, like you, some tough days, some good days, but i know i have to take care of myself first in order to help someone else, you mentioned he has been struggling for a bit, did you notice his symptons more when you started dating or were they there when you were friends first?

I definately didn't see any signs before we started dating and it took many months for the first signs to show but I just thought since I was his first real girlfriend, he was adjusting to the change and than the issues would disappear once he realized I wasn't going to hurt him. I met with a counselor yesterday and she was extremely helpful, I had mentioned the idea to my boyfriend of going together and right now I'm not sure if he's open enough to the idea but I will continue going alone to make sure I stay sane. She helped me identify some reasons why we struggle with this certain area in our relationship and she assured me it wasn't my fault. I am very lucky to have the support of his family and they are pushing the idea of counseling or seeing a doctor to him as well. I guess right now only time will tell. Keep your head up and know your not alone! I'm here to talk with anytime.
