A year ago I made the decision to take a break from my relationship with my brother. I had reached a point where conversations with my brother became mentally and emotionally exhausting for me. Whenever we talked on the phone, I would hang up the phone feeling like I couldn’t be authentically myself. I couldn’t fully trust my brother and I didn’t feel completely supported by him.
Before reading this article, please take your shoes off and step into your Bae’s shoes (I hope they aren’t sweaty ew gross…).

I dated an extremely masculine Bae one time who ignored EVERYONE when he was in a funk and just numbed out on who knows what.
Mental obstacles are draining. They can take away all desire to live, so your Bae with a mental obstacle will probably need help researching alternative methods of self-help, therapists, help-lines, support groups, supportive bloggers, etc.
Well, the tables have turned and I’m dating someone who has mental obstacles as well. He gets it and he’s definitely not letting me go and dropping me off in crazy town any time soon, so, I’m stuck here figuring out how the hell this is gonna work with our two different types of depression – hence this post.
