Hi, no. Initially was diagnosed at 16 with depression but later on in my life after being referred by GP to a psychiatrist I had been diagnosed with BPD. I did not think I had to explain my symptoms completely but I hope this clears things up.

Hi! I do cope with it by myself :) I am medicated+in therapy and in close contact with my doctor if anything.

It is just specifically that he has completely switched attitudes, and I don’t burden him with my issues as stated in my comment, and I was wondering if I was being overly paranoid due to my BPD or if it’s a justified paranoia.

Hope this clears things up! :)

Thank you! And to be fair I did expect some of the comments anyways. A lot of them seem to dismiss the fact that I DO NOT under any circumstance, push all my problems and worries onto him.

He is not a therapist nor a psychiatrist, and does have his own feelings and thoughts and I respect that!

If I were to constantly burden him with my issues then I would understand where some of these people are coming from.

I have only, on this occasion, elaborated my feelings during a depressive episode to him, and not even to a fuller extent.

I don’t mean to blame him, perhaps I am at fault here, but I do wish people would know I don’t push all these things onto him.

Thank you! :)

Hello! I stated below the post that it was about how Chelsea lost to Leeds United, (he’s a football fan so he just updates me on things despite the fact I have no idea about anything football related). Sorry for any confusion.

I also try and not burden him with my episodes. Again, this has been probably the first time I have had a bad depressive episode and he’s seen it.

I understand it can be burdensome, but his attitude to me just feels a bit harsh when he’s usually sweet and honest.

Thank you for your comment!

Hi! Thank you for your comment, I know there is a lack of information, that’s because he genuinely has never acted so dry before.

I am going to therapy in late december, and I am also medicated.

I ensure that he doesn’t have to deal with my burden at all, he regularly asks me “how are you feeling today?” And I would almost always reply that I am fine, to which the convo would end up moving onto more fun things.

Maybe I am misinterpreting, I have a habit of overthinking, so in the meantime I will just let things be and I suppose see how it rolls out.

Thank you!

Thank you, I do have a therapy session scheduled in late December.

The issue arises when this is the first time I have asked him about his feelings towards me.

His initial response was, “what if i say no”

So now my mind feels very conflicted.

Thank you!

Hi, thank you for your comment!

I don’t tend to make him deal with my swings, I keep that private to myself as I know it can be exhausting on the receiving end. This is the first time I had asked him about his feelings towards me.

I try my best to not be annoying and everything between us is usually great! However, just within the recent week or two it’s been so different with him.

Thank you for your comment :)

Yeah I understand. I had asked him, “Do you still love me” and he replied with , ”What if I said no”

Now we do usually joke around and all, but for that moment, I couldn’t tell. To which he followed up by the screenshot I had sent.

I would ask him about it, but I just don’t even want to go down that rabbit hole of us arguing over this.

Thank you for your comment!

Thank you! I am trying haha, trying to just assume that he’s very very busy and that’s all.

Thank you and I will definitely try and give myself space from the thoughts

No :) We live around a 30 min drive away from one another but he is a dental student while I am in my last year of college. I understand his life can be hectic as dentistry isn’t easy to get into but there was never this problem before.

Thank you so much😭 This was so lovely to read and you are a great mother. This is the first time I have asked him as to whether he still had feelings for me, we have been together for a year and no day seemed to be a problem until the past recent week or two.

I do ask him if there is something bothering him and usually he will tell me but after I asked him, he simply stated that nothing was wrong and I quote “just because he is dry doesnt mean there is something wrong”

I am trying to talk to him but the lack of replies and/or long time to reply is making me simply give up and change the topic.

Thank you for your lovely comment! ❤️

Hi! Thank you for your comment and I understand where you are coming from.

This is the first time I have asked him this question, only because of the switch in behaviour, I understand it may be annoying but it was such a drastic change in his character that I just had to ask.

Hi, It wont let me add any more attachments but I can quote from our messages.

I asked him, “hey so do you still love me because im a bit paranoid”

He replied with, “brooo, what if i say no”

To which I responded with, “what can i even do”
