Relationship run by Mental health

[pups4000]

Relationship is struggling,
I’ve been with my bf for just over a year now, but we’re both finding it difficult. I have anxiety, OCD and pure-OCD as well as being a hypochondriac so I really struggle with mental health, my bf has bipolar disorder.
When we’re both fine the relationship is good, but we both struggle to understand each other’s conditions, any advice would be appreciated ?

Are you both having treatment? Or have had treatment to the point where you are able to function while dealing with these issues?

It’s very hard to have a quality healthy relationship while struggling with some mental illnesses. That doesn’t mean that nobody with a mental illness should ever have a relationship or deserves love, just that until you’re at a place where you can manage it and be largely okay with healthy coping mechanisms and the ability not to take it out on your partner/look to them to solve it, you’re unlikely to get very far having a relationship. Add in mental health issues on both sides and the problem compounds.
