When we started dating, she told me about her mental illnesses kasi it just so happened na she was just recently diagnosed when we met. I spent hours upon hours sa library, internet dati is very slow eh and has limited info lang kasi it’s just the early days of it, researching about her diagnosis. I booked appointments sa psychologists. I enrolled sa mga workshop to learn more about mental health. I digested all the information I could para I know what to say, what to do, what are the signs, how can I support her.
After a couple of decades and a number of kids, almost every night, she tells me how the stars aligned and gave her me, how she feels safe with me, and how her nervous system can rest pag I’m around. I just savor each moment. I can’t bring myself to tell her how much time I’ve spent getting to know her monsters. It’s not magic; it is love.
To my dear love, my wife, the only love of my life, I know you’ll stumble upon this coz I saw your confession, remember how you can avenge your bestie? I will hold your demons by its horns. Because no one fucks with my girl, person man yan o clinical diagnosis.
To anyone struggling, may you find the love that makes all the holding on worth it.
