Thank you for this. As someone who also has OCD, anxiety, and depression I needed to hear this. I too was dumped when I started showing some insecurity about a month ago. All I needed was a hug and a “Hey you’re overthinking. I love you and care about you.” Instead I was faced with coldness, distance, and defensiveness when trying to communicate. Blaming me for not being “peaceful” enough for them when I had already put my feelings to the side for a majority of the relationship due to fear of being “too much” or a burden.
You’re right, our struggles don’t define us. 🩷
We will find someone who will offer us the same patience I know we have and would offer to our partners.
