Confident
I have been reading a lot about the pushing away and isolating that sufferers tend to do, and relate to the "walking on eggshells", not knowing if you should contact them or not, etc. etc. I have greatly appreciated all the input from both sides.
I know everyone is different in how they deal with things, I'm just curious if there are carers that have been able to adapt to the sufferer's cycles and not take it personally when they dis-connect and push away. (Much easier said then done).
It may be wishful thinking on my part but I have hopes of continuing a gaming friendship online with a sufferer and want to know what I can do/ what I shouldn't do, to make it work out. Maybe someone can teach me the trick of emotionally detaching :). It's like I need to pretend I don't care, when I really do.
