It is very true, no one has to deal with any person's disease, and no one has to be part of anyone's life that they don't want to. I completely agree. But here i am, someone who has a partner who says they love me very much, but i just can't get them to understand how i feel when i have one of my "moments". Or how the whole psychological part of this disease can sometimes invade our minds causing our reality to be overtaken. I have mood swings that are more unperdictable then anything, and he can't understand, it's not me, i try to control it, but sometimes...i just can't. Sometimes i can't control being upset, frustrated, and rushing into the bathroom, pulling out whatever i can just to make myself feel better and cut. Some people will never understand that it's not as easy as just stopping sitting down and reading a book like nothing happened. So when you are with a person who loves you very much and doesnt want to live life without you- but doesnt understand something that consumes you, than what do you do?
