PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE THING!!
I couldn’t find the original post but got it from Pinterest
I have been through such relationships and it honestly sucks when your apologies aren’t taken and even when your partner knows that you aren’t in a good mood, despite warning them.
I have been slowly pushed into the corner where I couldn’t even speak up to them or tell them about my feelings and grew distant.
I would really add a few points to the above how to help each other grow stronger. It doesn’t matter if you have a mental illness or not, even if one does deal with mental issues the other will be affected and they need to know how to deal with it.
- Appreciate and Encourage: I cannot emphasize how much this helps! If you encourage the other to stay strong this gives a little hope for sometimes when they are having a bad day they might not even listen to you and not even care about what will occur to you if they do some harm to themselves. So please encourage them on and on and remind them that you’re there to help them out and there are always others to help them out
- Don’t stop them from getting help: Please do not stop them from reaching out for help apart from within the relationship. They need someone else too, to whom they can speak and cry to when you aren’t available. Let them have an open source for help and do not confine them to only the relationship. They need their social space.
- Take your time to indulge with your social groups: This is very important! You need to have your own time with your social groups. This will help you keep track of your own mental health (even if you aren’t dealing with any mental issues). Have a life outside the relationship and give equal time to both.
- Give your mental health more priority than your partner (If you’re dealing with a mental issue): By this I do not mean that you shouldn’t take care of your Significant other but you need to make sure that you are fine too so that your mental health doesn’t worsen your partner’s mental health. This is a lesser talked about but this is what usually worsens a relationship (besides lack of communication & understanding). You need to ensure your health isn’t worsening because of the other. If it does then take some time away from your partner and help yourself. You are important too, besides your partner.
I wish you all have a beautiful relationship and fall in love and are able to understand each other.

NOTE: This applies to all kinds of relationships.
tl;dr: self love, understanding and communication are the key to any healthy relationship ❤️❤️
