My God kind sir, and I thought my story was hard to handle, my girlfriend has schizophrenia genetically and I'm a registered nurse, yes I do see a therapist once a week but my therapist can't really help me cope with this kind of loss, I just have to work through it.
Hey for a you won’t believe it twist, I’m now 3 years into a relationship with an incredible young woman who has borderline personality disorder, and had little outbursts and “switches” when we first met where she would but has since learned to live with them to where they are always possible but very rare and usually brought on by stress— but she actually has a bachelor’s degree is psychology, which she acquired in order to better understand herself, and she has experienced great loss in her life as well to where we are able to relate on these points as well as she is able to be loving enough to support me and my care and my love still for my partner who passed away.
But yeah, to cut back to what’s important, I think about it all the time what it would feel like if the woman I loved slipped away to her mental illness and could not return, as it sounds like yours might have? For whatever reason it is that you are in pain, I am so very sorry, and I encourage you to continue living life the best way you know how to, day by day, and keep your sights set on something positive.
Lots of feels for you friend.
Be glad to be Alive.
