I don’t want to drag you down with me...

[Ssserg]

I’m honestly dating the most amazing human being ever... like seriously... so positive, supportive, and tries so hard to understand me when I go through waves of anxiety and depression...

I’m terrified that I’m going to ruin them. That I’m going to bring them down and change them in the worse way possible... or that they are just going to get so fed up with me and dealing with me and my anxiety and depression ... they have shown no signs of doing this yet.. but it still scares me .. like when is it going to get old for them?

I’ve tried to explain my feelings but nothing will get through to them... I just don’t know what to say to make them understand ...

any encouragement or advice?

I understand this so much. To me it sounds like anxiety talking. Try focusing on other things in the relationship like what you like about that person and the good times you have together when you start to think negatively. That’s what I would suggest. Another thing, if they ever get tired of it or make you feel bad for having mental health problems then they are not the right one to start with.

You are more then your depression and anxiety. You will have time were they are prominent but I bet on the days you are yourself, you are a great person to be around. An understanding partner will see you for who you are. I would just enjoy the lovely relationship you have.
