Well I do want to clarify my intentions have always been pure. It’s hard to get a balanced perspective on such a limited platform but I’ve been dedicated to him since the day we met. I’ve hurt myself financially and my credit to help him with bills. I’ve called out of work to be there on his bad days. I’ve showered him with gifts, dates and so much more. And up until his depression got really bad *he* was the obsessive one. He used to call me three times a time and would blow my phone up when I wouldn’t respond. That’s why it was so confusing and hard when he suddenly needed this space. I finally let him in and then his depression just got so bad due to a host of personal issues he wasn’t dealing with. I made the mistake of assuming he still needed me to be up his *** and that the old methods would still work. Then my anxiety got so bad I leaned on him more than ever. Overall, I think we just have different mental illnesses and different communication styles. But I do recognize I failed to listen and made the mistake of assuming I knew him better than he does. So now I’m working on myself and he’s working on himself so we can be better boyfriends and have a healthier relationship. It’s been a really eye-opening learning experience for both of us. But I think my best move is to really learn how to deal with someone with depression. Because the methods for anxiety just weren’t working for him.

I’m happy to say we’re getting closer again and through all the darkness we’re seeing some light.
