in Mamas with depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders

Does your mental health effect your relationship?

Been with my boyfriend for 5 years. He's a trucker and today I told him everything that I had been bottling up. I told him that I had thoughts about leaving him but I don't want to give up on us. He's response was if you think that's what you need you can. I kinda felt worse and maybe I should've broken things off bc I told my close friends I would because I hate living like this but I couldn't stand my ground. I feel like an idiot plus on top of that an ex reconnected with me I hate my brain sometimes

Show your support

For me most certainly. I was diagnosed with BPD, and now that I’m medicated, going thru therapy and understand it a bit more I’ve learned to cope

Yes it has, my manic episodes and depression have really made it hard on myself and him. When I’m depressed I can’t even take care of myself so he has to as well as pick up any slack with our daughter, then I’m manic and make bad decisions. I’m being medicated now and it’s a process for sure

If he told you that you can have a deeper conversation with him to see where that statement is coming from but when a man really loves you and wants to be there for you sacrifice for you and take of you, his response may be emotional or to ask more questions to see why you are thinking of leaving…but his response was very apathetic…I can’t tell you what to do but I would definitely look back to see how he has treated you and do some deep diving because if he thinks you are worth it as his wife then I think he will try and work it out imo…your husband could be overwhelmed with life and supporting you mentally so just talk to him about it…but you will know if it’s something y’all can work out or not
