Problems with my boyfriend and mental illness
I've been in a relationship with this guy for about 9ish month. I love him so much, I feel happy in the relationship, and see a future with him. Since a little before Christmas we have been fighting so much more than usual. He lives with me (basically when we started dating he didn't have a place to stay so he ended up just living with me, and yes I know that probably wasn't the smartest idea) and so whenever there is a problem he just leaves and never tells me when he is coming back and avoids all communication. I know that its sometimes is hard to communicate with me especially when I'm upset but its been since Saturday and he still "doesn't know" when he will be ready to talk. I feel like he is going to break up with me at this point and if thats the case I'd rather he just do it then keep stringing me along this emotional rollercoaster. The fights usually consist of him wanting more space, etc and I'm the opposite. He said a lot of hurtful stuff when we last spoke on Saturday. Things like he is unsure about the relationship, feels like I don't let him be independent, needs space to do what he wants to do. Im totally fine with him hanging out with friends and doing his own thing but the problem I have is he doesn't ever talk to me about it and will just leave for days at a time. Before he left he said several times that he still wants to be with me but he needs time.... —-
On top of all of this he has huge commitment issues in the past including with his family as well As dealing with depression, bi polar disorder I’ve struggled with depression, anxiety, and self hard issues. It effects our ability to communicate effectively
I can't believe we are on such different pages and it was also so unexpected. I feel like he drops these bombs on me and Im left to pick up the pieces and wait around for him. We used to “share our locations” on your phones but he disconnected it a day or so ago. It makes me feel like he just wants nothing to do with me and I want to jus crawl in a hole forever.
I guess Im asking a few things here: what do i do so i dont go completely insane in the meantime, and what can i do to help fix this communication problem. Im at a point where I need to talk to him about so many things but I cant if he continues to avoid me. I have been such a mess since Saturday, not being abkut to eat normally, crying, and havinf SH thoughts. I feel like a mess and any advice or help is really appreciated!
TL;DR Boyfriend and I have communication issues and he now left for two days and wont respond to any calls or texts. Any one know what I can do to help myself not go crazy(I struggle with depression, SH, anxiety) and fix these issues.
