I care about him, worry about him, and want to continue getting to know him & understanding his illnesses. However, I'm not there yet or ready to say I love you. I think he said it too fast. I'm not sure if he really means it, is scared to lose me, or maybe just wants someone to love him so much. I know that he doesn't have a good relationship with his family and his only serious girlfriend was abusive towards him. He says I'm very different from her & I'm his reason to get out of the hospital & get better. I'm just scared and nervous, becsuse I have not experienced this before and I don't know what the future would be like.

I don't know if he said he loved you because of his illness - I know nothing about it to speculate. But I can imagine that he's in a hard place now, with his situation in hospital. Although it must be the best place for him, it must be hard for him. I wonder if he was reaching out to you - afraid he may lose you? You may be the good, solid thing in his life and it would make sense, with or without mental illness.
Hugs.
