so i’ve been picking up that the person ive been seeing for a few months is distancing themselves from me and isnt being as communicative and open as usual and i just feel like they’re trying to slowly faze out the connection so they dont have to end it concretely. 
either it’s all in my head and my abandonment issues are making a problem out of nothing but i really feel like my instincts are usually right about these things...
i brought it up a few days ago and they said they were having a difficult time with mental illness right now and i always try to be there for them but i just feel like im always too much and not having them be able to talk to me really hurts (wow that was a very narcissistic thing to say omf)
i tried to be accommodating to them by giving them space and just asking for a little reassurance but their reassurance felt so insincere, it just hurt. i felt like i was forcing them to say they liked me. 
my brain just keeps telling me to end the relationship before i get hurt but i’m already hurting and i really want to keep them around. 
i really need some advice bc my brain is not good at this at all
i just feel like im always a “nice for a few months” kind of partner and not longterm relationship material...
