I, 22F (bipolar type 1) have been with my bf 25M for nearly 2 years. We have lived together for about a year and I can’t help but feel terrible for my illness and feel like a burden to him. I try my absolute hardest to manage myself, weekly psych appointments, staying on top of my meds and trying to use coping strategies- but I still feel like I fall short. I still break down in tears multiple times a day and I feel like he’s going to slowly resent me for being sick. I love him with everything in me and I would cross oceans for him, I also just feel guilty that I’m weighing him down with my problems. I try to limit how much I confide in him because I don’t want to overload him but still I know he worries about me. I just hate myself so much for it. Side note: I also have SEVERAL comorbidities (ADHD, OCD, PMDD, CPTSD, GAD and adjustment disorder)
