Have you experienced being turned off by your S/O's personality and what have you done?

I’m very similar to your girlfriend and made my SO well aware of my mental health struggles from the beginning so he knew what to be prepared for e.g. decision fatigue when extremely depressed or anxious.

He also has a brother with bipolar disorder (same as me) and “handles” the stress of my mood disorder well. I’ve checked in with him many times whether it’s worth it and he says it’s hard work being with me sometimes (lol) but he’s never once considered leaving. In fact he has always been insistent that it will pass when I start spiralling.

I also go to therapy and diligently take medication, so there might some resentment from your side that your girlfriend isn’t doing more to help herself. You might need to have a calm conversation about that.
