I’ve always suffered badly with depression and anxiety and it goes through waves of being manageable and completely unmanageable. Christmas is always a hard time so I’ve been pretty low recently anyway. My boyfriend, also suffers badly with mental health issues and this has been good and bad in our relationship. Anyway after Christmas we both went back to uni, which is in the same city, and things where going okay. Then after about two weeks we had a small row about something stupid, and he just said he can’t be with me anymore. He said his mental health is really bad and he needs to be alone and focus on himself. Now we’ve been together for 2 years and this has come completely out of the blue. I understand and respect what he needs but I have never felt so down in my life. I just can’t deal with the fact that I am losing him, I believed he was the love of my life. Since he left me I’ve been really bad with taking my meds, I’m sleeping 3-4 hours a night and I can’t stomach food. I’ve tried to phone the Samaritans, but I couldn’t get through to them. I’ve been relapsing in all my bad mental health habits and I just don’t know what to do anymore. Please someone help me understand how to process this and get back on track. Breakups are so hard when you suffer with mental health issues, especially when you love that person so much. Thank you xx
