My girlfriend's mental health is completely out of control and I don't know what to do.

Thank you so much. I do need to do me. I do find myself attracted to other men now and then. Maybe it is time for me to do me. Her issues are overwhelming. Sometimes when she and I are intimate I close my eyes and think of Jamin. I love her though. I am at my wit's end. I wonder if I am drawn to screwed up women. Like they need me and I want to be needed.

LOL wtf....

Masterstroke.

I personally have a mental health issue that makes it hard to be around others.

Not saying this will be helpful to you but it has for me.

This lady has good advice too on the actual issue.

If you are as familiar with mental health as you say you are then you know that, professional help or not, this doesn't go away. Being a pleasant person, to flipping her sht, to crying into your shoulder, is the classic endless cycle of a mentally unstable person. Get out of it now, it will only get harder over time.

*The classic unstable cycle of an attractive woman

Try meditation, yoga, peaceful music,time I. Nature, internet detox. Turn off the tv. Try painting, drawing, whatever. Creative stuff. New hobbies. Fun activities. Go to some hippie events (cacao ceremonies, kirtan, sound baths, whatever you might enjoy, have some fun with it ). Take a trip. Go hiking If you guys enjoy that. Finding purpose in life outside work. Maybe move to a happier neighborhood or area with more activities you both like to do.

Also give her space too. If you get too empty cup and upset and start lashing out it becomes a vicious cycle, and then you two are just hurting each other.

I'm not discounting other medical advice here. But I've been in your shoes. You'd be surprised how much some of the above stuff can help.

Wait why the f was a year old thread bumped up?

This has been happening lately. With a few threads . Weird.

This thread had an epic plot twist.

Listen to this post.

I think it's because of the covid lockdown and lack of social outlets. I didn't come on letsrun forums for almost a year before the lockdown. I don't even like it really, but I guess I have a need to interact with people in whatever way I can.

I show how to deal with this in episode 3.8 of The Last Kingdom.

hahaha I can't believe so many people fell for this....!!

yup, it was all fake. Classic LRC bait and switch!

Move to a country with free healthcare?

I'm forced to ask the standard LRC retort: PICs?

Stop trying to be her knight in shining armor, okay? How about not post her personal sh*% on this asinine website full of misogynists. Try that.

From what I see here, these are all symptoms of borderline personality disorder, which is also what I have. If you don't have any knowledge of what BPD is, you can learn more here fherehab.com. But shortly, it's a mental health illness characterized by erratic behavior, including symptoms of anxiety, depression, and anger. There's no exact cure for it, but if she diagnoses it, she can get help. What's important here is that it can be treated to reduce side effects and minimize the ramifications of everyday life. Talking to a trained psychologist or psychiatrist can help.

Lauren,

This situation was discussed over a year ago. The OP and his girlfriend have most likely had gender reassignment surgery and stayed together anyway. Crazy kids……
