I am in love with a young man who's very ill. He was recently diagnosed with a mental condition, which triggers extreme emotional highs and lows.
We fell in love when he was stable, and our relationship was everything I've ever wanted. We discussed our careers, marriage, and even the names of our future kids.
However, the illness started claiming him. He started having outbursts. It severely strained our relationship, and I didn't handle it very well. It created a lot of emotional turmoil and situations that can't easily be forgotten.
In his lucid, rational moments, he has told me that he wants to be with me. He wants the future that we wanted. He tells me his fears and his weaknesses. But he still frequently cycles back to irrationality. And in those times, he says things that hurt me and make me resentful. I know it's a symptom of the illness, but I still feel hurt.
He's currently receiving medical treatment. I've told him we shouldn't talk for now, because he needs to focus on getting better. And I need to be alone to recover from what I've gone through.
Please, pray that he finds the medical help he needs. Please pray that he regains the stability he once had. Please pray that he finds strength to conquer his illness.
But please also spare a prayer for the two of us. Please pray that I haven't lost him to the illness forever. I want to spend the rest of my life with him, even though I know it will be difficult.
