How much should someone make compromises in their relationship?
Relationship Stress / by PurpleNina

...See more Hello. I have been with my boyfriend for more than 3 years, 1 of which we're living together in my mom's place. I think I still love him, and I want to continue fighting for our relationship, but more and more, I'm just feeling something's off inside me, like some weird, uncomfortable, defeating sensation, when I think of the things concerning my partner that I'm sad he doesn't possess inside him. It's like I'm more and more discovering the parts of himself that I can't accept. Of course, no one can be just perfect for anybody, but that feeling is so nagging. For example, I'm more and more struggling to put us on the same page. Or when I'd love him to do something for himself and me at the same time, but he just doesn't want it at all. I more and more can't stand his habits. I understand him less and less. It's like I'm more and more wanting so bad for him to change, which is of course out of question in any relationship. I really don't know what I should do if it's me, or if it's him, and I should reconsider our relationship.

...See more Hi, all! I am new in here, in this subcommunity. Medication has been destroying me for quite a long time. I have bipolar type II, and I take a lot of meds. Too much, I believe. If only I lived alone, without my mother, I would get off my meds, and focus completely on support and self-care. I have been experiencing hypomanic episodes for 8 years, but every couple, or more of years I had episodes that were around 1-2 weeks long. It good though, that my mother, when I sent her an article about bipolar disorder and how meds (antipsychotics mostly) can do a lot of damage. I see myself in all those listed symptoms. It is good that my mother agrees with it and we will talk about it tomorrow. But, it's been a long time since I felt in chains because I was depending on my psychiatrist, and I just felt locked. It's like I'm still in a mental instution...

...See more Hello all. I don't know exactly what to write and where to write. I'm a bit lost here, in this section of the website, but I feel the need to be here more. I am 23 year-old high school student (still that, but irregular because I am an adult. I am still that because of my mental health problems, and because I was bullied. I am a high school student for too long because again of my mental health problems. I have exams every 2 months, all in one day, but I get to choose which I want to take from current year of schooling. I now want to get very studious and make some money to get some new things in life, such as friends (at college would be easier) and to be independent at some point of my Mom. The second thing is my autonomous French learning. I am doing it on my own and find it more rewarding than in classroom setting. I feel great when I do it. I just need, most of the time, to get myself to start doing it, and be consistent. I often would rather think of the things that are not possible for me to do right now, instead of the possibilities, as my possibility to learn French in a rewarding way. The last thing is what I've just started a day ago. I set up an account on some freelance job website, as a freelancer. That is a bit clumsily done, but what should I do. I applied for 2 jobs, and plan to do more, even though I get out of my comfort zone then. But... I am still empty. I have no friends here where I moved when I started high school (8 years ago), and every day life seems getting very dull. I just need to get over everything and get to work, to try, to go through hell if needed, but I need as much support as I can get. I forgot to mention that I have friends, but in my hometown, and a boyfriend who is living in another place, but the thing is that I should live where I am.

...See more I've been working, on my first day here, 99% of the time on my growth path. I've found this website by searching for counseling, as my depression came back. Then I've discovered the whole website, and worked on my growth path. After that, I listened to the mood boost for sleeping aaand.. got up 2 days later. However, when I did that, I couldn't wait to get back to this website. When I did that, something wonderful happened. I was still working on my growth path, but I have connected with some amazing listeners who lifted me up and now I am extremely grateful for everything that exists here!
