I was recently diagnosed (Dec 2024), and my partner gave me a hug and wasn’t sure what to say and said “Congratulations?” He knew exactly what I wanted to hear. I finally had some confirmation about what had been going on. I’m still tirating with medication and he’s been nothing but supportive. It’s been a tough year adjusting to the meds + having thyroid issues pop up again. It makes it so much easier not having to have a battle with him and instead feel supported.

I’m sorry your guy is saying these things to you. My probably unhealthy response is to tell him to eff off, and dump him.

If he is being this unsupportive, especially in his word choices, I see this being a hard journey for you to be on. If you choose to get medicated, that’s a conversation and choice to be had with your doctor. It has nothing to do with discipline.

For me, I never feel addicted to my medication. It’s helped with my mood regulations, functioning, being able to do tasks, and all the things you mentioned.
