Relationship
All my life I’ve struggled with anxiety, which, over time, has gotten easier to deal with as I’ve grown, but often puts me into low moods or even several weeks or a month of depression, but I’ve been trying all sorts of meds. Last October, I met a wonderful person: my girlfriend, the sweetest, kindest, funniest and most understanding person I’ve ever met. I love her so so much. Not long after we started talking, she told me she’s bipolar, and I responded with support. It’s never changed the way I love her, and it never will. But when school started back up, she was taken out because her meds were messed up, and she was home bound the rest of the year. It was a very scary time, as she responded every few days or weeks when I’d text her, and until we met up in May on our first date, I thought I’d never see her again. The date only reassured me of my
desire to pursue a relationship with her, and since she’s had more disappearances over text, later opening up about her situations. I’ve always worried for her and felt several feelings during this time, like fear, guilt, uselessness, and sometimes even the idea that maybe I should give up? Which I’ve all learned are common in these situations. Right now im on the hunt for a stable therapist to tell all of this to, and I hope to take her on another date when she’s in a better place. I wont give up just yet, this girl is too lovely to just give up on. Wish me luck!
