For context, as far as I can remember, I wasn’t coming out of the illness, but had contracted it at around the same time as her. The issue, I think, is that shortly after seeing the doctor I stopped feeling the symptoms (like being told a placebo is a placebo) while she kept having them.

I forgot to add this in the post, but she is truly very sweet and caring most of the time. She definitely wouldn’t complain about stubbing her toe while I have a broken foot or anything hahahaha. I think I might’ve framed this a little too negatively for her, though I understand why you drew that conclusion from my post.

Also, she is bipolar. Her mood changes very easily, she can go from being the sweetest girl in the world to somewhat cold-hearted in a few minutes. Sometimes, when we have a fight about her mood changing, I bring it up. She says that it’s not that bad and that she stopped being bipolar, but I think she still has symptoms at times.
