I am in a long-term committed relationship with someone else with severe mental illness (very severe OCD as well as depression). Sometimes, I think when I am struggling with anxiety or mild depression, I just feel numb to the world and uncaring. I feel judgmental of my boyfriend for his problems, and especially when he is angry because my PTSD is triggered by people feeling angry. He puts up with me, so I feel I should put up with his problems without resenting him. Sometimes it gets really stressful having to take care of myself with my multitude of issues (autism, PTSD, bipolar, anxiety) and to calm him down when he's angry or try to get him to try to help himself. At least now he's seeing a psychologist and trying new medications, but sometimes I still just feel resentful. I want to be taken care of, which is kind of selfish and shows my lack of independence. I feel guilty writing that...

Has anyone else had to deal with a close relationships where both you and your significant other have severe mental health issues? Any advice?
