How to survive a partners mental health issues?
My girlfriend is in her early 20s. She’s beautiful, intelligent, charming and has a great job. However, her mental health is causing so much strife. I don’t know if I can cope any longer. I have no idea who I will come home to in the evening. My happy girlfriend who I adore or a person that makes me miserable.
I do my best to be supportive and patient but if she’s in a bad way, an argument is inevitable. I can tell within 30s of getting in the house.
I don’t know how to deal with it? I can’t do it any longer. Our relationship can’t move to the next step because my/our life is so up and down. It’s making me so miserable but I want to make it work.
Its difficult to explain but sometimes she’s literally a different person. Nasty, picky, argumentative. She will be nasty to me but most of all negative about herself. If she has a spot or nothing to wear, it’ll be hell all day.
She has been diagnosed with mental health issues. I’ve convinced her to take tablets a few times and I’ve seen a massive improvement but she doesn’t like taking them.
Can someone please help?
