I deal with some serious depressive episodes where I break down, constantly crying and feeling helpless, feel self harm, feel very anxious and threatened, and I push people away and want to isolate. It's a silly analogy but I feel like the hulk when it happens. I lose control, it's tiring, and when it's all over and I've recollected myself I see a wake of destruction in the form of hurting my fiance emotionally who I love so much and is always there with me. This recent episode was the first time in almost 4 years together that I yelled at her. I feel so bad to see the fear in her eyes...
I have alot of support from therapy, meds, groups, friends that know etc. Between my fiance and I we talk things through after each episode I get. Shes there for every one of them and tries her best. But lately it's been getting worse where I see its having a toll on her and our relationship.
I feel bad for hurting her emotionally and mentally. But its like I cant stop my behavior, watching helplessly from the inside of my head. She feels bad as it hurts her as well to go through it and she doesn't quite know how to effectively help me.
My biggest fear is that my mental health will ruin our relationship and I will lose the one I love most. I really cant bare the though thought of it. I've read and understand the notion that if shes ment to be with me she will love me through the bad parts as well. But is that realistic... we all have a limit to things we can do, even myself.
What should I do...?
