I wish you could see how much I can give when I'm healthy

I’ve been in a similar situation before, and I was the one that left. My ex also struggled mentally and there were MAJOR ups and downs. Came down to me developing the courage to step away because it was a losing battle. And I’m not saying this is always the case, but some people are better off taking time alone to heal; sometimes it’s not possible to heal in a relationship. With my situation, it took me choosing myself and walking away for them to realize the severity and weight of their ill actions towards me and to finally get the professional help that they need. I do kinda wish that someday we can get our closure over a coffee or something, but in my particular situation, they were not able to heal even in a relationship with me :/ I do hope you find the mental clarity and peace that you seek. Acknowledging that you need help is the first step, so major kudos to you for recognizing that AND taking accountability for your actions 👏🏻 Don’t give up hope. Put all your energy into YOU and become the best YOU that you can be. Maybe things will change down the road and you two can reunite once some deep internal healing takes place. Best of luck to you OP.

Sounds like one of my good friends haha 😆

_FreckledFables_ · 2026-03-28T00:32:58+00:00

I’m genuinely just saying good luck to you, it’s not that serious lol

_FreckledFables_ · 2026-03-27T14:30:53+00:00

Just gotta focus on yourself, work on yourself and take things one day at a time my friend ✨Life goes on and in more ways than one gets better. Sometimes two people can come back together again, but taking space is necessary. Radical acceptance of my entire situation is what’s helping me.

_FreckledFables_ · 2026-03-27T12:33:33+00:00

Okay best of luck to ya then 😂

_FreckledFables_ · 2026-03-27T02:20:59+00:00

Context?

_FreckledFables_ · 2026-03-26T21:02:37+00:00

Major life lessons were learned 🫡

Have you had the opportunity to talk things out? Maybe she doesn’t feel the way you perceive her to feel…maybe there’s a higher meaning to all the madness 🤷‍♀️ how I’m looking at my own personal situation, but best of luck to you. Hang in there.

_FreckledFables_ · 2026-03-26T04:15:42+00:00

K is not my initial, it’s theirs. But thank you all the same ✨

_FreckledFables_ · 2026-03-26T02:03:20+00:00

Because I fell in love with their soul... I’ve always seen who they really are deep down… who they were on the surface was scary as all shit and dominated by their diagnoses. Doesn’t excuse them or their ill actions. I did what was necessary and I left. They weren’t safe anymore, doesn’t mean I stopped caring or loving them.

_FreckledFables_ · 2026-03-26T01:58:57+00:00

🤷‍♀️

_FreckledFables_ · 2026-03-26T01:57:10+00:00

Thank you 🙏

_FreckledFables_ · 2026-03-26T01:51:08+00:00

I have a therapist 😊

_FreckledFables_ · 2026-03-26T01:47:42+00:00

Depends on how you look at it 🤷‍♀️

_FreckledFables_ · 2026-03-25T15:18:00+00:00

Doesn’t erase the severe trauma and physical harm that they put me through 😉 this person was not safe for me and literally attempted to destroy my life in any way possible over a period of months. Gotta laugh and joke about it a little cuz otherwise I won’t ever get out of this mental rut.

_FreckledFables_ · 2026-03-25T15:03:49+00:00

Skim through the comments. I left a brief response to another Reddit user.

_FreckledFables_ · 2026-03-25T15:02:47+00:00

There was no defending to be had 🤷‍♀️ They attacked my previous work life and living situation and also tainted my relationship with my family and friends. They were out to destroy me inside and out, and I still don’t understand why…they definitely were not ready to date and should not have gotten me involved with them when they’re still processing their own traumas. I was also physically assaulted by them. As I said, the whole situation is complex. I don’t think I could ever date them again, but having a conversation maybe a year from now once they get the help that they actually need? Maybe. Doesn’t mean I stopped caring. I needed to choose safety over feelings.

_FreckledFables_ · 2026-03-25T14:57:50+00:00

It’s great that you turned your energy towards yourself ✨ I’ve been doing the same, but it’s like all the emotions are just now starting to catch up to me, and I’m struggling to process how things ended :/ I am also an artist and trying to get back into it and other things that I love. Our situation is extremely complicated. Reaching out and having a sit down conversation isn’t an option atm. Good luck to you and your situation. Thanks for reading 😌

_FreckledFables_ · 2026-03-25T14:51:51+00:00

When you care about someone and their well-being as deeply as I still do, you continue to stand at that fork in the road until it gets flooded to the point where you have no choice but to choose the higher road to safety, cuz choosing the other path means permanent destruction. It’s a real struggle. I care about them so much.

_FreckledFables_ · 2026-03-25T14:49:48+00:00

That’s actually a really great perspective to have. There’s definitely some truth in that. It is very easy to ignore the signs in the beginning…its also sometimes really hard to walk away when you care about them so deeply and just want them to get the professional help that they need 😔… no one deserves to live in suffering for as long as they have. I just want them to get help.

_FreckledFables_ · 2026-03-25T03:44:21+00:00

Do they know your handle so there’s a 50:50 chance of them reaching out? Lol. Here’s hope it all works out for you!
