My anxiety is 📈bc my bf’s depression is in full swing and now he’s even less engaged than before. I want to confront him abt so many things that make me spiral but the timing is shit. I wish he was considerate of my anxiety like I am of his depression

It sounds like this relationship is not beneficial to both of your mental health, if you cannot even bring it up to address it you need to break up. Hopefully you two can have a meaningful talk where this gets sorted out but it seems like you both may be exacerbating each others symptoms and if you are unable to maintain a decent baseline (overall) then you are not ready for a relationship. You’re young, don’t be scared to start over if it’s not working

I was in a relationship like this and unfortunately no matter how much I tried to help him he didn’t let me so I had to end it for my own sake…

depression isn’t an excuse to mistreat your partner. and even if he didn’t do anything wrong, ask yourself if this is how you want to live the rest of your time with him. either he works with you and fixes it or you lose your anxiety or you gotta break up. the most likely outcome is unfortunately the third one.

feel this deeply. im doing so much better mentally without my ex like this and am overall much happier. 2 years have passed and he still can’t healthily cope with his depression, and im now in a relationship with someone so wonderful and genuine who supports my career and goals. don’t let this hold you back if you’ve tried to fix things and it’s not working
