So I've been seeing my boyfriend, a vet with PTSD, for about 6mo. For the first 3 or 4 months, he was perfect, everything (i thought) was perfect. To me, his first "episode" took me by complete surprise and scared me more than anything. It was like watching Dr. Jeckyll turn into Mr. Hyde. I didn't understand fully what was going on and the only way i knew to protect myself from being hurt was to end it. We started talking again a month later and he was Dr. Jeckyll again, making promises and reassurances that we would get help.
He had another mood swing over the weekend, I think triggered by my roommate not really accepting that he and i were back together and by my friend, who i briefly dated 3 years ago, coming into town to visit. We went from close and fuzzy to barely speaking. After reading some of the threads on here, I decided to give him space but I'm torn up inside. My intentions were always pure and I never meant to hurt him or make him angry. I feel guilty, scared, hopeless. I don't know what to do.
