Wow. (Had to look up PFA. That's some kind of messed up! "A bit un-nerving"?!
I'll say!) I was curious if they knew about the BP, wondering if such knowledge might be connected with the "parental" thing. (As in taking an over-zealous caretaker role.) Doesn't sound like that's the case here at all. (It's great insight you have, btw -- seeing how it made him doubt your dx more by using the meds/side effects/BP as excuses for poor behavior. That's a biggie to recognize. Sorry to hear he's not been supportive.
)
It's great that you have gotten each other some work! (That's how I found out about this place -- it's the person who replaced me when I left my job. Only worked with her for a few days, but it was a positive impression.)
"Fuel to the fire". Yeah, tight money and lack of work can put people on edge. And maybe provide too much time for getting worked up, which no doubt exacerbated things. At the core of it though, I'm with BlueInnanna. It's just good form to keep 'em posted. Not every minute of every day, lol, just a check in. Like texting "Going to be away a couple of days with GF." "Double shift tonight.". (Doesn't have to be like FB where people are apparently compelled to report every time they change their shoes.
) You know how it is, people worry, tend to imagine the worst, which goes 'round and 'round working them into a froth. Not knowing can really gnaw. The good news is that they care.
They'll just care more
calmly if you let them know.
(No one could get hold of my BF for a few days awhile ago, and I was freaking. And I
most definitely ain't his mother! (Or father!) Hahaha!)
You originally posed a question asking whether symptoms have interrupted/interfered in the dynamic. Do you feel like yours have? Mine haven't, but it's only been a short time. Kind of nervous about the prospect. Thought especially about it early on as moving in came only weeks after my worst month ever. But I've been struck with a real contentedness here and been really stable, so.... hopefully that will last. It's always a fear though. History hasn't been pretty that way and I dread people (especially those that haven't before!) seeing me like that -- Well, mixed or highly agitated anyway. I don't want to give them second thoughts or be seen differently, negatively, you know? That's the main thing. But you've been there for a couple of years. How has that part been? (Only if you want to say, of course.)
