Struggling with Mental Health while Supporting Partner

Hey man, as someone who is also in a relationship of two physically iffy people, they should be able to understand and respect you when you don't have the energy to lift them up. It's hard to hear, but if someone can't respect your energy levels or what you have the capacity to provide, then they probably aren't the right one. Try having a conversation with them about how you'd like to be able to rest more and try to keep yourself stable.

Explain how one’s thoughts can directly effect a persons perception and feelings! Model how to change a thought by using a positive statement! Using the “Law of Attraction” actually works! Example: I am happy to have …a home, a partner, food to eat! Give this a wholehearted effort! You will be surprised how this mantra helps improve your mood!!

you don't have to be religious to use a religious service. I stay connected because I like volunteering but don't do anything else. If that's the only issue that's a big problem if he's not going 50/50 with you. My parents currently have that problem my mother is your partner and my father is you. It didn't seem like a big deal at first to my dad but it's building up. He just messaged me 5 minutes ago saying how badly it's affected him

Tell each other EVERYTHING…. How you are feeling each day especially….. help each other, don’t let it become one sided…. You both need to give as much effort as you can, it’s so so hard having two ND people in a relationship…. I have autism and bipolar, and sometimes my wife (who has depression anxiety and ptsd) focuses too much on me and not herself, it never ends well. If you wanna chat my messages are open 💜

You each should try to support each other. That's the best way for both of you to survive. I know it isn't easy, but open communication is key. Does he know when you are having a rough day? Do you tell him? Or do you pull a me and keep it to yourself so you can be there for him, not letting him be there for you? I had to learn to let my wife in and rely on her when I was having a bad day. It has helped so much for both of us

That's a good question. I have a question first, is he supportive? And if so does he try to listen or does he try to help when you're sad? Because that will determine the answer
