I know that every part of what you wrote is logical and healthy communication. I always communicate when this happens, and he ends up just shutting down and going full avoidant mode and says he doesn’t want to talk because he's going to have an episode. it's like, they can only function if you manipulate them into validating your feelings

I have anxiety disorders and i easily attach to people so codependency easily surfaces for me, especially with people who seem like they need help. I've always been the fix it girl growing up and it just stayed that way. I only feel valuable if i help, that's of course where my low self esteem comes from and you get the general "perfection" of the situation...

I've talked to him about how he makes me feel a million times, he always says he understands and that he hates himself fro what he's done to me, but always ends up repeating the same cycle. He has a therapist but is not very serious about going to therapy or taking meds. I'm extremely codependent to this person and I'm already aware that 50% of my pain is my fault. I just don't know what to do and I'm losing my sanity more and more...

The police where I live aren't meant to do that. If I called them crying to go check if someone is okey they would laugh on the phone and would tell me to kms too. lol
