Ok just another update. So I think he is just about out of isolation. This time was a little different. This one was about 6.5 weeks so a little shorter. He also was not as communicative with calling and texting...but still in touch. He also had irritated me more this time and I basically...

Just updating. My boyfriend came out of isolation in October and we celebrated my birthday back in October. Since then we have had constant contact and visits with few shorter timeframes of isolation and low contact...but he has never stopped calling and texting. He is definitely cyclical and...

Hearing this now makes sense. I remember attending my BF family’s funeral and he kept coming to check on me and then eventually asked me to come sit next to him. Then maybe 20 mins later he basically said can u go back to the hotel, that way I can wrap up things and not worry about u. I was...

Thank u. I will definitely make sure that I do that. Thank u. Feels good talking to him. He is initiating all the contact right now and asking to go out on dates. I am just observing, listening, and responding.

Just wanted to give an update. After about 8 weeks of semi-isolation (I had not seen him in 8 weeks but he kept in some form of short contact at least every 2 to 3 days or so and then it increased more toward the last 2 weeks).....he finally called one day and was sounding very cheerful. He...

Just an update. He is still isolating in that I have not physically seen him in about 6.5 weeks but he communicates more frequently and in more in depth conversations. He calls every 1 to 2 days. He just started to run (which I had asked him to do when he started feeling symptomatic in July)...

Hey hey. I think I am just writing to document my experience with my BF and get feedback. I recognize that he is more communicative than some of the other sufferers in isolation (funny I still wish it was more?). Nonetheless....I am trying to take him at his word when he says me just sending...

Just received another phone call from BF...he still sounds calm and not like his mind is racing as bad. I asked how he was doing and he says he feels better but right now (with the demands of his work) he is still experiencing moments/short explosions of anger inside and that he is trying to...

Will do! Thanks @lostforgottensoul !

So BF called on last night and this time he was not talking nonstop and he did not sound like his mind was all over the place (last phone call a couple of days ago he talked about 15 mins straight telling me things we had already discussed before he went into isolation). This time he did not say...

Thank u @anon1234 u are absolutely correct and I am definitely thankful and happy for the communication. And thankful for u guys sharing ur experiences and providing guidance. U guys are very helpful!!

. That makes sense. This is all so interesting with similar patterns. And I agree contact is definitely a good thing.

Ha!! I hear u about trying not to dissect....I will definitely try not to but me being analytical by nature makes that complicated. I do research for a living! ??. Fortunately guessing wrong does not make me anxious though.

I agree we cannot really guess what is going on in his brain. But I just find it interesting trying to. Not sure if it was a check in text because he sent one of those about 2 hours earlier. This text was different then his typical check in texts he sends that primarily says hi and asks how...

My BF called my phone but then hung up really quickly after the first ring. Wondering if he wanted to speak but hung the phone really quick realizing he was not able. Then a few minutes later I Received an out of the blue text from my BF saying “I am here. Always”. Again a very short text but...

That makes sense. Thanks. I think he thought he had it under control and it seems like he had for years....and this latest episode is a shock and rocked him because he had been doing good with managing with his learned techniques. In all fairness to him, he had a LOT of unfortunate/stressful...

At the end of the 15 min conversation of him repeating things we had already discussed...I mentioned that I was trying not to text him that often to let him be. Again he mentioned he like the check in texts and emojis ( mind u when he does not reply to everyone) and then he said it helps get...

I mentioned in my reply to @Freida about now seeing the first connection with his dissociation and flight. He told me early on about his therapist saying he dissociates and I noticed moments where he would. So all of this correlates with the timing of the super extra stress of projects, mom...

So I am definitely seeing how the dissociation ties in. Early on he told me that his therapist said that he dissociates. And I also noticed that he had medicine prescribed for dissociation. During times when he was not very symptomatic, I have noticed times where he would...

Sufferers, is it common when you start coming out of isolation that you do not remembered what u discussed before you left when you were symptomatic? So you basically repeat everything that you discussed before you went into isolation as if it was new news? I say this because I just got a...

@lostforgottensoul yes it makes perfect sense. I also am noticing that when he texts or calls it is usually really early like 3:00 to 7:00 am timeframe. I do know he had been having problems sleeping and I wonder if it easier although still very difficult to have it together to communicate...

Well from what I can guess all is ok with his friends. He told me there are in Naussau. Again by text and short. I did not want to ask many questions and I am just kind of trying to match his communication level. He is still giving one to two word texts with them primarily saying hi and how...

Yes he definitely tends to be stoic and sa Yws he is a Vet. All so very sad in the Bahamas. I sent him a message saying thinking of u and ur family/friends. I honestly do not think I should message him for a minute. Just really unsure how he is feeling considering he said he was in pain...

BF is still in isolation. Was a little concerned because he has good friends who live in the Bahamas. He still seems to be pretty numb. Asked him about them and he said I hope they are ok. I guess being numb is probably a good thing right now because if he wasn’t....it will probably add more...

I do not want to take too much credit. I will admit that I was able to respond this way after actually witnessing and hearing him express situations where he couldn’t responds. He just could not simply talk or be present. And bonus then seeing on this forum that u sufferers are saying the...
