I have cPTSD, anxiety, depression, and ADD. When we met in college, I tried to keep him at a distance and was upfront that my health would put stress on a relationship. He insisted it was fine and he could do it. Flash forward to this summer - we moved in together for this first time while relocating across the country to a place where we knew no one (shhh. I know.) We’re now four months in and he just admitted that this might be too much for him. Yes, I have been working on myself and making progress. But it is still just too much.

I don’t even know where to start feeling my feelings. I almost want to laugh. Not sure why so thought this would end differently than any other time I’ve lived with someone (very, very poorly). I was so transparent that my inability to manage my personal space/needs would be too much for him, and I damn well knew better. Alas.

How would you feel?
