Hi I’m Female(27) suffer from bipolar I was diagnosed at 14… My partner has never been with someone with mental illness.. In the beginning of our relationship it was very easy to counsel.. I was young when we got together and I didn’t have too many responsibilities… at 23 I became a mom and that’s when everything just started to come to the surface . I did have postpartum and it took a toll. My boyfriend didn’t understand till this day he holds my postpartum against me. Fast forward to a couple years later my dad passes away and my world turned dark.. And that’s when everything just went down hill.. I literally stopped taking care of myself but I focused on being a good mom and spouse.. My boyfriend still doesn’t understand and doesn’t get why I have to see someone for medication.. why I can’t just talk to him… his hard to talk to he was raise “very old school”.. I’m still not in a place where I can be okay but I haven’t self harmed but the suicidal thoughts are there.. I just feel lost. Anyone else feel this way?
