He goes through a lot mentally and so do I. But I feel like i’m just always anxious or sad aboit something, I don’t want to be such a downer for him especially when he deals with his own mental battles. We constantly remind each other we’re not burdens, but I just always feel so guilty when I talk about my anxiety.
I don’t want to lie to him and say i’m doing good if i’m actually crying my eyes out, but i don’t want to bring more negativeness, but i also feel like i should talk about what i feel with him but i’m not sure how to do that without overdoing it.
For example, I’ve had urges to self harm again, but i havent told him because i dont want to trigger him because he also has urges to self harm when he’s angry.
Also, we’re long distance so our communication throughout the day is mainly by text.
TL;DR – Im unsure of how where the line is of being honest with my boyfriend of how im feeling or if i should save it for my therapist and tell him im “fine”.
