I have a few mental illnesses that typically impact my ability to socialize- namely, I have a very limited social battery that gets extremely overwhelmed around most people after a few hours and I need to recharge. I usually don't even feel like being around others more than maybe once or twice a week.
My partner and I have been together for close to two months, and there's literally not almost a second that we don't spend together. We're long distance but I spent two weeks at his place last month and I was still just craving more of his attention. We fall asleep in call, wake up in call and typically spend all day in call and we still just want more of each other.
Ive made sure to express that if I'm ever too much or if he wants to hang out with other people that he should feel free to do so or tell me, and he says that even when he is with other people he's thinking about wanting to be with me again.
I've never felt anything like this... For the first time I truly feel complete with another person and in a relationship instead of feeling like it's something that takes up what little energy I have. I feel like I found my soulmate... Even if it's too early to say things like that. We talk openly about problems, we always make each other laugh, all of our views on things like politics/religion/family are the same, we have so many shared interests...
I already gush to him enough about all of this and wanted to do it here instead for a change. I just never thought I'd be this happy or excited for the future. I was even able to give up weed, which I used to need for stress management, appetite and sleep, because he helps me that much. It's unreal to me, but if I am dreaming, I don't ever want to wake up.
if we hit any bumps in the road I feel pretty confident we can work them out- I really hope it lasts too!
You too!! I'm glad you found that person as well, it's a super unreal but wonderful feeling 💚

I know what I have, I've been diagnosed, I'm not going to list all my symptoms so you believe I'm actually mentally ill.
