Hi friends. I’ve been dating my boyfriend for over a year and a half. He’s awesome. He really is.

We both struggle with mental illness from time to time. As college students and perfectionists, we handle depression, anxiety, and on my end, bulimia.

I’m always very supportive of him when he is having a rough time. Lots of hugs and “it’s going to be okay”s are said on my end.

Lately, I’ve been struggling. I vomited for the first time in months a few days ago, and broke down about it in front of him. He looked very...annoyed with me when it happened. I tried to make it not a big deal, but the next night I broke down about it a second time. I opened up about how much I was struggling, and he just seemed angry at me for not being able to “be in a good mood” around our guests that night. He was mad at me, and when I apologized, he just said he was sick of having to have this conversation.

I know it’s a lot to ask of a SO to be there for someone struggling mentally, but I feel really terribly about the whole thing. Am I being too much? Should I just keep my ED to myself?
