Just need to talk to someone
I’m a 23 yr old female who is struggling with mental illness and struggles with daily tasks. Right now I’ve been struggling a lot in my relationship. I don’t know how to communicate the best and my bf doesn’t seem to understand even though he tries so hard. It makes the guilt 10x worse, when I seem to make things harder when I can’t control the things I do/say. I feel so hopeless and alone.

HI there. I'm happy to talk. Communication is way harder than the average person thinks. It's OK and normal to make mistakes. And when there are communication challenges in a relationship, it can quickly become stressful and lonely.
Coming here is a great idea to make sure your needs are met, so you are in a better place to support your relationship.
This is an area therapist can be really useful. As they can help be the independent bridge to achieve understanding. But I know it's not an option for many.
Thank you

That sounds so heavy to carry… trying your best and still feeling like it’s not enough can hurt so much. I’m really sorry you’re feeling this alone in it, you deserve understanding and gentleness. We are here to support you, and if you need someone to talk at any point, please reach out :)
thank you so much
