Post Body

Me and my gf of 6 years have gone through a lot. Iv been with her through all of her anxiety’s and all of her growth. People as they age grow and I have grown to become what I feel to be more resilient, to face the shit sandwich that is life and move forward. She has grown too. She was a meek, shy, and even jealous at times person when I met her she is now strong, independent, and outgoing. I was enamored with seeing her grow. But she had a huge underlying mental health issue in her anxiety and depression when i started to date her i remember walking up to her in our community college library and seeing her cry her eyes out because she thought she had depression/anxiety, not that she did have it, but just over the possibility (i now know she does and she even admits as such) she was even medicated during nursing school. During nursing school she was almost kicked out but wasn’t due to the good graces of the professor. She was a mess, but we pulled through, we then get an apartment together and while I can’t sit here and say I’m perfect I often let things in our apartment get out of hand like dishes and have been accused of not being proactive with chores. We lived together for 2 years of our 6 year relationship and while we went through many ups and downs I remember distinctly making her laugh and vice versa. My goal as a bf is to make her happy and I asked her today after confronting her on a post about asking how she can break up with her bf of 6 years, if I ever did make her happy. She said I did and I made her laugh and that for all intents and purposes she loved me. But then goes and says she’s hated me for the last 2 years. I have to note that she has been hating work, her anxieties have grown intensely along with her depression, she has been abusing drugs to make herself feel better, and she’s been going bouldering to escape home. Right now we had to move back with my parents. (We lived together with them for a year before we had our apartment) I instinctively knew her coming was a bad idea we had a-lot more stuff and we needed to combine it all in a small room, that can’t be good for the mental health of a person. I can deal with it. I see it as a temporary step as I wait for PA school but this compounded with everything and her saying that I am the biggest problem by not “focusing on my health”. from her accusation I don’t take care of myself despite being called skinny by my coworkers. (More background info is that she had/has body dysmorphia), she also said that our morals are different and when i asked her how she said that i dont believe in global warming (i do) the only difference is that when confronted with global warming she instantly goes down a spiral about how our kids wont have a place to live and how the world wont be the same. However my response is that we should likely get a hybrid for our next car. from what i see our principles are the same but the reaction/ anxiety to things we can not control are different. we had a huge argument as I confronted her but I want to know if this relationship break is something I can think of as the result of a huge mental breakdown and to just give her time to be by herself with her parents or if I need to start looking at other fish in the sea. I’m not eager to give up on a 6 year relationship especially one where we often laughed and had fun and I would find myself telling her “ if we have a daughter I hope she is like you”. I love her and she can’t tell me she loves me. Is this a mental breakdown that needs time to be healed or even if so should I move on? (Sorry if grammar is off it is late and I’m exhausted from the emotional rollercoaster I had)
