i get that you& #39;re anxious but i& #39;m always gonna be mentally ill. love isn& #39;t gonna make that go away.
i can also tell when people talk to me in a way that shows they& #39;re scared of my reaction.. so. just.. be upfront about that?
protip if you have a partner or a close friend that& #39;s mentally ill don& #39;t automatically treat them like they& #39;re broken. ASK how you can support them. if they don& #39;t know, OFFER them space.
if you still don& #39;t know what to do, read up on cases of that mental illness, do some research.
also; this thread is conditional of: how your mental health is, your energy, etc.
your partner& #39;s mental illness doesn& #39;t mean you& #39;re their CAREGIVER but it& #39;s nice feeling supported.
my point is, just be honest about your feelings toward your partner& #39;s mental illness. it& #39;s better to ask the "dumb" questions and learn something than it is to remain ignorant and anxious and feeling like you have to step on eggshells.
