i can only imagine if your bf is anything like me then he is extremely frustrated with this... because no one can understand what its like.... unless you experience it... people often think you are joking... or making things up... but its horrible thing to go through..
i dunno if part of it is adhd for me... ptsd... depression... dissociation... im not sure because i need to talk to a therapist.. but i know it can affect everything in your life... his life..
i just would like to as ky ou try to be understanding... its really hard not remembering things.. some people joke about it but when it is really happening to you it affects you on so many levels... i dunno how he is handling it, but i hope that he is taking care of himself - you are good for staying by him, its not easy trying to handle these things with somenoe.. much less someone you care about...
maybe if there is a way you could keep him "grounded" while you are around him would help, so maybe when he is away from you he can feel the same way... i know thats what would help me... dunno if you know what i mean ?
i wish you btoh well... stay strong...
if there anything i can do i will try to help as much as i can |
Thank for this reply, I'm glad to know that he's not alone but I'm so sorry you have to deal with this too. I get what you mean when you say that a lot of people think you're just joking and don't understand that you really did forget. I see that happen to my boyfriend all the time and he kind of tries to laugh it off and most people think he's joking when he says, "what was I talking about again?" During a conversation or if you ask him a simple question like "what did you have for breakfast this morning?" And he says he can't remember what he had. And other things like that. They don't get that he's completely serious. And he gets weird looks sometimes too and he handles it pretty well, but it's still pretty frustrating for him, just like it is for you because he tries so hard to remember little things and he just can't no matter how hard he tries and I'm sure you try really hard too and it's just no use. I'm sorry that the same thing happens to you. I really hope that your therapy is helping and that things get better for you. Thanks again for the reply. Good luck ♡ and I will definitely try that grounding thing you talked about.
