Closed off
Relationship Stress / by LTBama
Last post
 July 3rd, 2025
...See more I’m looking for some optimism from someone that has experienced this before. So the girl I am in love with feels like she has lost the ability to fall in love with me again because of past trauma. She makes statements like I’m afraid it’s impossible and things like that. It almost always a statement of uncertainty. She doesn’t act completely closed off all the time. Only here and there does she talk in absolutes. And I just want to see if anyone has been in her spot and came out on the other side. I desperately need a little hope.

Affects of adjusting to medicine
Bipolar, Schizophrenia & Psychosis Support / by LTBama

...See more I hope someone maybe can help me. Someone I love dearly was recently diagnosed bipolar. Her dr has steadily adjusted her medicine and after the last adjustment I have noticed a significant difference in how she is with me. And not a positive one. She seems almost indifferent towards me now when that was never the case before. She leaves me on read for hours. Even knowing I’m having a hard time she will just vanish on me like I don’t exist anymore. We have been very close for over 3 years and she has never been this way toward me. I don’t understand. It hurts more than anything. Please help.

Need a lot of opinions

...See more The situation is: party A had a lot of emotional walls and defensive mechanisms from being hurt. Party B won’t believe that those things can inhibit how you feel emotions toward someone if they are not dealt with the right way. And as a result can’t let themself fall back in love completely with party A. Do you agree or disagree that unresolved issues can keep you from falling in love?

Anxiety driven issues
Anxiety Support / by LTBama

...See more Asking on behalf of those of us that love someone with severe anxiety disorder. When anxiety not only causes its own problems but then causes other issues to be compounded what helps? The person in my life that deals with this it will trigger her fight or flight and she wants to run away from me or push me away. It causes unnecessary guilt when she hasn’t done anything wrong. It also causes her to try and rush decisions just to make the anxiety go away. Just to mention a few. What do y’all need from us in these instances? How can I help her in the best ways? I do ask her what she needs or what I can do but she doesn’t always have an answer. Thanks in advance.

Facing and uphill battle
Relationship Stress / by LTBama
Last post
 March 24th, 2025
...See more I’m in love with a wonderful woman, however I had so many walls up in the beginning that it kept me from letting her in emotionally for too long. She lost hope that I would let her in and tried to walk away. We keep coming back to each other but she is now in a on and off toxic relationship and can’t see how toxic it is. On top of that she has started to build walls towards me. I know she loves me and I know given the chance I can win her love back. But her old wounds and now this toxic relationship she is going back and forth on is creating an uphill battle. Not just for me but for her too. I’m trying to be emotionally mature enough to say if we aren’t meant to be then ok, even though I 100% believe she is the one, but I know this guy she is trying to hang onto is toxic as the day is long. From name calling to gas lighting and much worse behavior. Every journal article I’ve read screams toxic. But she can’t see it. Or she doesn’t want to see it for a variety or reasons. I don’t know. All I know is every time he hurts her my heart shatters. I can’t stand to see her in pain. I don’t know what to do.
