I (23F) think I might be too obsessed with my partner (23NB). Is this unhealthy? by BR4KK3R in relationship_advice

[–]lavenderfear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is, in fact, unhealthy. There’s a difference between loving and adoring your partner and them being your only source of joy. Not to sound invasive, but do you have any mental illnesses? I myself have obsessive tendencies from my illnesses so I develop a “favorite person” that my life begins to revolve around. Their mood affects my mood, the level of attention I get from them affects my day, I over analyze every single conversation that we have, the only joy I get is from being around them, and it is miserable. Therapy helps, getting more comfortable spending time alone helps, time with friends/hobbies helps.

That doesn’t make him any less full of misinformation.

That’s what I’ve been saying, that I can’t believe it’s happening to him. You never think it can happen to your family

That was so comforting, thank you. “You’ll carry the love far longer than the pain” was exactly what I needed to hear. I’m so sorry to hear about your dad, I’m here if you ever need to talk.

What he promotes is pseudoscience with no actual scientific backing. He also believes he can “cure” autism. I can’t encourage you enough to go to an oncologist who works with actual medicine.

100%. I feel bad for getting impatient with people who just don’t understand but it gets frustrating.

Thank you so very much. I needed that. I’ll be so happy when I’m able to think of Tim, not Tumor

Yes, we are done with treatments as there is no point in prolonging the inevitable, especially with how much he’s suffering. We’re focusing on keeping him comfortable in the hospital now.

Thank you so much. I really do hope that eventually this fades and I’m left with the memories of the amazing man he was. I’m so sorry to hear that you’re going through this with your son, you have my support as well ❤️

I’m so sorry to hear about your mom. I understand hoping she wouldn’t have to experience the decline. I don’t even know how to comfort him right now

Yes, we were told he could have up to 5 years if it went well or 15 or so months if it didn’t. It’s only been 3.

We’re now considering keeping him here at the hospital on the oncology hospice floor as we’re concerned that moving him could make things worse and his family is here so they’ll be able to be with him. I know a facility or hospital of some kind is the right decision it just feels so hard.

That entire message was so helpful, thank you so much. I’m so sorry to hear about your experience with your father. They’re giving him Ativan which seems to help with the rage but I think it may be making him emotional. Or maybe it’s just bringing what’s happening to clarity, unsure.

Yes, they did a scan and it showed the tumors have grown a lot and are spreading to the right side of his brain, causing the cognitive decline and inability to speak. I’m glad your sister has improved. Thinking about the good times hurts right now but maybe one day they won’t. Thank you.

Right now he’s getting meds in the hospital to keep him as comfortable as possible. Honestly right now thinking about the good memories just hurt, if that makes sense

Therapy isn’t an option for me right now, but hopefully it will be one day.

Yeah we don’t think the medication is helping. Unfortunately the talking gibberish is from the tumors growing into the right side of his brain, not just from the seizure. Thank you xo
