I am bumming my boyfriend out... Please help me.
Hello, it is my first post here... I am really needing some advice. For starters, I have some mental health issues, and I’ve had them since I was 7yrs old due to trauma. My boyfriend is very aware of this, and he has (earlier in the relationship) told me he would be there for me to help me through things if I needed it. But, here recently he has been getting pretty irritated and bummed out any time I tell him about my issues, which he told me before he would be there to help me with. He is in a good mental state, he rarely has issues so I do not know what is wrong.. or if I am being selfish.. but it feels like I cannot talk to him about anything, because all it does is bum him out and he doesn’t want to talk to me about it. It’s very discouraging and I’m very lost on what to do, or say. Thank you for reading.. I can provide additional information if it’s needed...
Do these issues involve him? Did you try to talk to a professional instead. It can be a lot for your partner to know all your issues. He loves you and seeing you suffering must be frustrating. From my experience it's important to talk to your partner, not about everything. Do you need his help dealing with your issues or do you only need him to listen to you having these issues?
