Has he turned his back on me?

I have been in speaking with someone since December
We were in constant contact and met up several times.

One of our first conversations were about our mental health which for a better word is f**ked, what a pair eh

So we had nothing to hide we were very open.

He says he's safe at home in his bubble but broke out and met elsewhere.

His mental state is worse than mine but I appreciate and accepted it as him.

Now out of the blue he's ignoring me after telling me he's having a 'bad day'

What do I do?

Understandable my mental health is now suffering I believe I've done nothing wrong but listen and been supportive.

OP.

In my experience its never worked out when two people have MH issues.

Try and live your life as you want and not let MH cloud your judgement.

Work on yourself and be the person you want to be.

If he's having a bad day he is probably resting and not up to chatting with people. Respect his space, as you should anyone with or without mental health issues.

Without knowing what his MH issues are it's difficult to guess, but it is likely that his 'bad day' has turned into a bad week. All you can really do is step back and let him contact you in his own time.

I agree with lattewith3shotsplease, when both halves of a couple have problems it can be hard going. On the other hand it does give each of you an insight into the struggles of the other, so mutual support may be possible. This tends to work better with a friendship than a romance, though.
