Any of you in relationships? Has it been affected by your illness at all?

In a five year relationship from 13, then 2 years at 20, in a new one now… Struggling to fight my anxiety, depression and anger which culminates in jealous outbursts. 5.22 am and it's Christmas Eve. My whole life was going ok for a moment and I choked and just went into the dark again.

Never been in one.
Thanks to my assburgers, I can't stand being in a one-on-one conversation for more than a few minutes. Even if I somehow accidentally ended up in a relationship it probably wouldn't last very long.
Oddly, I can do group conversations just fine, and I found my way into a few friend groups as a result. I'm just unable to talk to any of them alone, so I'm not really close to anyone.
This never really used to bother me, but lately being a 25KV has started taking its toll.

I was. It fell apart because I'm a stupid asshole that took things way too far and kept feeling things despite the other person knowing it was over and not wanting to make me feel like shit by breaking up while I was starting medication.

Still feel guilty as fuck but they're happier, at least.

That's okay. Kinda.

been in a few (only long distance, sadly), they lasted about two years each, felt pretty great, and even when they start getting bored of you, each second feels like a breath of fresh air, a hand pulling you out of the water

then they dump you, and you sink, reach rock bottom and hope you'll find someone as good again, even tho the previous one was perfect

worth it

i want to be, but i dont at the same time and its kinda confusing. i dont really feel any need to be in a romantic relationship, yet i want to because i feel like its something i should be doing. i know aromanticism is a thing, but i think im probably so fucked with this dysphoria shit that i dont know what i want and i wont know until i transition

My romantic life follows the same tired pattern.

>think she's cute, crush pretty hard
>she likes me too
>I get into her interests, meet her friends
>feel irritatingly jealous when any of them talk to her because it sounds like they're flirting
>do my best to keep it to myself

>she finds out about my anxiety and depression and anger issues
>eventually she finds someone else
>I bail from group of friends because I only hung out with them because it was time I could spend with her
Met an awful lot of girls who lost their virginities - to the guy after me.

I've come to realize I'm probably meant to be alone and hopeless. It's not like I'm any good at leaving the house anyway, dates would be awful. Not agoraphobic or anything, I'm just no good around that many people. Looking at me. Watching me. Judging me.

The problem is :

The more I like someone
The more I think I have to leave this person in peace because I'm too unbearable

This used to lead most of my relationships to the end.
Can't find a way to become easier to live with so I stay in this state.

Being bipolar has helped me multiple times to get into relationships.
Megaloman stage is really good, your self-confidence makes other people think you're more valuable than you actually are, so it makes things easier.

No kidding. Damn, that's some really determined self-mutilation.

I once ripped open this boil on my face with cleaned toenail clippers because it was gross and I hated the way it made me look. It hurt like hell (I used the pain to psyche myself up further/keep going), and now there's a permanent scar on my cheek.

I was gonna type out my story but it'd end up being a 10 post epic of angst, depression, high school tier drama and "poor me" sob stories. The short version is that I was in a long distance relationship for two years. When she was ready for me to head out there I was dealing with my mental issues, and when I was ready to take the plunge she was putting it off. Her therapist wanted her to call it off so she could focus on herself, and she eventually did. She said she wasn't happy with her life and couldn't be in a relationship with anyone. I still love her with every fiber of my being. The only thing that stopped me from killing myself was the thought of spending my life with her. She gave me hope. I'm still hoping there's a chance for us somewhere down the line. There has to be. We both invested too much time and energy to throw it away without even meeting face to face.

Married person here.

My husband knew what he was getting into when we got engaged. I made damn sure of that - for so long, I thought I was going to be alone and had made my peace with that. I'm going through some issues right now related to my bipolar/anxiety, and he has been nothing but supportive. A little.. erm, awkward? though. This is my first big issue since we've been marrid ( 5 years ) so I really, really think his calming demeanor and attitude has really helped me.

Sadly all the warm hugs and soft talking can only help getting dumped from a new job so much.

Yes. One for 8 months, the other for about 6. I'm usually the one wanting to get out. Biggest issue is paranoia and I'm completely unable to have trust at all times, sometimes leading to anger outbursts.

It's only in relationships where my illness really appears, so, I don't talk to anyone anymore.

 No.6482

I don't think it's because I'm depressed that I'm not in a relationship. I just don't want to hurt anybody. There's so many cases where there's another girl that likes me that would be broken if I dated someone else, or another guy that likes the girl I like that there's nothing left for me to take.

I just don't want anyone being hurt.

 No.6765

I'm in a relationship with a girl who understands me, and is really cool about my condition(s). She is also very cool, if I wasn't dating her id still hang out with her all the time.
