Hey Justmehere,
Your way of explaining things is so beautiful. I just recently (last week) broke up with my boyfriend who suffers from PTSD and anxiety and couldn't give anything to our relationship. I did all I could possibly do to make him feel better but he doesn't want to get help. It really broke my heart as I had imagined a future with him. However, PTSD or no PTSD, he has a choice to heal and get into therapy. He never took that choice and it became increasingly difficult to stay with him. I felt disrespected and felt that I had no value in his life. While it is easy to fall into the "he needs me to get better" thinking, there comes a point where you feel like you are being unfair to yourself and neglecting your own human needs and wants.
Really love what you wrote and my heart goes out to all the supporters!
Much love
Goon
