I have mental health issues myself and I push people away a LOT.

Love doesn't conquer all. Its very much possible to walk away from someone that you love very much.

And when you throw in the struggles of mental illness, that just complicates it all.

AND YES, I do indeed break up with people because I'm TOO STRESSED! (I have a stress disorder....)

(Please stop judging those of us with mental health issues. Its really not being supportive, especially on a forum like this one. The OP came here for support, not to be judged. You may not agree with how she handled things, but don't judge her from an outside stance where you have no idea what its like to be drowning in your own disorder and can't (literally can NOT) help anyone else. Thank you.)
