All right, so let me give you as much context as I can as possible without revealing too much.
Me and my girlfriend have been dating for about six months. It truly was a slow start, but we really were infatuated with each other after months and months have gone by. From cute little dates from stopping by at our each other’s workplace to even celebrating our six months anniversary. Just overall great vibes and something to look forward to every day I wake up.
However, what I’ve known from day one in the relationship is that she is bipolar goes through some mild mood swings and has a hard time really expressing herself sometimes. She isn’t like that all the time, but when something either bothers her or makes her a little bit upset, she goes to a frantic place of just not talking or talking very very quietly. It wasn’t us telling during the first few months of the relationship but now it’s getting to a point where I don’t know how much I’m able to support her.
So currently she’s out of fall out with one of her friends for calling her out for not really communicating as much and not really being as expressive in their friendship. This really tipped her over because when she called me, she sent me over 30 paragraphs of their back-and-forth. Not exaggerating. obviously I went through as much as I can. Some of it was a bit repeating themselves, but it looks like it really took a toll on her because she has been an hermit crap mood, when it comes to communicate with me.
I would never discount her feelings or tell her she’s overreacting, but I feel like we just talk in circles anytime I try to help her out because I would give her some type of solution in regards to going to therapy more which she already does but I feel like I’m talking past her And what I’m saying really isn’t connecting.
Idk man , does anyone else have experience like this or what can I really do in this situation because obviously I’m not a person just easily give up when things are getting tough but it feels like I’m being emotionally dumped on repeatedly and I’m not quite sure what to do.
