Amora Calanthiaa month agoI’m 26, and my boyfriend, also 26, has been struggling with undiagnosed mental health issues for a while now, and it’s causing a significant strain on our 7.5-year relationship. His anxiety has escalated, and he overthinks everything, often leading to sleepless nights. He also has anger management issues, which result in him throwing and breaking things, often triggered by his anxiety. He has had issues at work and with both our families. It’s become increasingly difficult for me because I never know what mood he’ll be in, and I feel like I have to cover up his issues for him. I try to protect him from our families by hiding what’s going on, but his behavior has become erratic. He constantly expresses how everyone hates him, even when there’s no evidence of it, which has led to me distancing him from family events. He tells me to change plans or uninvite people without warning, and I feel stuck in a cycle where I am being forced to explain his actions. The constant negativity is weighing on me. I am a generally happy person and don’t take things for granted, but his mindset is making it hard for me to maintain my own positivity. He used to be someone I loved deeply, but now I barely recognize him. Despite repeatedly offering him help and suggesting he seek therapy, he hasn’t followed through. This has been an ongoing issue for the past year, and I’m starting to feel lost and unsure of how to handle it. I’m wondering if things can improve, or if this is the end of our relationship.139
