Struggling with Mental Health and Love: Why Am I Pushing Him Away?

Honesty and communication are extremely important here. Tell him what you told us in this post. He loves you. He’ll understand that you’re struggling and that you want to do better by him. Trauma and anxiety can make honesty and closeness terrifying. Keep reminding yourself that you’re safe with him. At the end of the day, most arguments are about how each person is feeling. Ask him how he is feeling. Really listen. Don’t get defensive or react right away. Acknowledge his feelings and make sure that he feels heard. Then, be honest about how you’re feeling. Avoid blaming. Just focus on how you feel. Remember that you love each other. I hope everything works out, and I hope this helped. 💕
