I know he tried hard to fight and defend me against the voices in his head because he told me so. But that was then when I also realized there was no winning.
It's been 20 days and it still cuts deep.

i loved someone who was fighting battles in his own head too, and realizing love alone couldn’t save the relationship BROKE me
20 days is still so fresh. i know people expect you to be “doing better” after a few weeks but gah, some endings stay in your chest for a long time.
did it feel like he pushed you away because he thought he was protecting you, or because the voices got louder than the relationship itself?
I was the one who initiated the breakup. I couldn't just keep on fighting
it took me about 30 days when all that heaviness started to lift
I hope I can make 20 days. I made my NC commitment about 20 minutes ago. I’m really sad and lost.
the first week is the hardest. we are all here for you. reach out to us before you break nc. You got this, and we got you
