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.

I've no personal experience of MH problems.
But give him the space he needs.
Just let him know you are there for him if he needs you.
But you are your No. 1 priority.
So you look after yourself and your own MH.
What help are you getting?

When I have a bad day, I want to be left alone. His bad day isn't about you, it's about him. If being alone helps him deal with it, then you need to let him do that. If you can't, then you can't be together.

I totally understand but the day has now turned in to a week I'm just worried tbh and know how low and lonely we and all can get

I would go around to his but don't wanna make things worse

A week? If he needs that sort of time on his own, then he has no business being in a relationship. It's too harmful for you.

Thank you that's what I need to hear really and to reassure myself it wasn't me thinking I've done wrong if you get me

I'd also be worried about you - if your mental health is so fragile that someone ignoring you is going to send you on a downward spiral, maybe you aren't quite ready to date?

Totally understand what your all saying
Thanks x
