So, I met this guy back in December & we had our first date in January. Everything was fine & great. He made me feel special & wanted & I never had my doubts. Well 2 weeks in he texts me & tells me to come & see him he’s in the Hospital.

During his stay we talked consistently I always came & spent time with him, I always was there to help him with whatever he needed help with, advice, care, he’d ask to see me. He had me over with his family & doctors while they discussed a treatment plan. He made me feel so fucking important like I mattered to him like this would easily be something serious he continued to make me feel so special.

He had a Manic Episode & his family members brought him to the hospital he was there for a little over a month. He was diagnosed with it 3 months before & decided to stop taking his meds because he just really didn’t think he needed them & self medicated himself with Weed/Alcohol.

Now he’s staying with family & he’s been with them for almost 2 weeks now. We don’t talk much anymore at all. He doesn’t hold a conversation with me much at all anymore. I don’t know if it’s his meds or if it’s on purpose or maybe he doesn’t realize it. I haven’t seen him since he’s been discharged from the hospital. I understand that he needs to focus on his treatment, family & hisself but I can’t help but to feel like he’s shutting me out or being distant & I want to say how I feel, but I don’t want to come off as being selfish as if I don’t understand what he’s going through, but I also need some reassurance that I’m not wasting my time waiting around & being patient with him & that he’s not being this way because he’s no longer interested in me. Its like I can’t help but to think ( which may sound stupid ) during the time we met he wasn’t in his right headspace & now that he’s on his meds & thinking with a clear head maybe he’s realized I’m just not the girl for him & instead of being direct with me he’s just distancing hisself from me maybe hoping I’d catch on & move on!? Should I bring up how I feel or just give him space & time?
