Posted by ViewtifulGemHate to break it to you, but that's the first red flag.
Wow thanks for all the replies. Well I'm been trying to apologize and tell him how much he's meant to me. It hurt my soul when he texted that..."everyone leaves me". And I've been trying. I was going to show up to where he is living and tell him face to face but, I don't want to seem like a psychotic bitch. But I can't keep holding on if he's not going to respond. We both have abandonment issues, anxiety and depression.
Posted by ViewtifulGemGood luck with that.
Thanks @Cookieo
And @rockyroadicecream, I'm well aware of what I'm taking on. He and I both have abandonment issues with depression and anxiety. I do care for him. And since I'm kinda in the dark in my life with a barely gleaming light, and he is as well, I'll prefer we guide each other out of the darkness we are both facing.
Posted by blvckphaseThis. When you're dealing with your own issues and try to take on someone else with just as many, one person is going to get weighed down. In this scenario, this guy is going to drag her down and she's going to end up mothering the dude and get burned out fast.Posted by ViewtifulGemI knew what I was taking on too.. thought I was strong enough to handle it and a large part of the reason I stayed is due to the fact that everyone else in his life had abandoned him.. I honestly thought that if I stuck by him he would see that I was not going to leave and things would change.. 3 years later not much has changed. We thought we were going to guide each other out of the darkness too, but it doesn't work like that. You can't help someone when you are down in the dumps yourself, I know I am the same. You won't listen though.. none of them ever do.. Good luck..

Posted by ViewtifulGemDUDE, seriously, if that's his situation, jump ship.
I know. And he's currently in an assisted living apartment. Where he see's his doctors and have meetings weekly. We were supposed to meet up again today and he texted me an hour ago that he has a terrible headache and that he didn't want to see anyone today. I'm honestly not going to try anymore. If it rides out then I'll let it. But I'm not going to wait for him to come around.

Posted by ViewtifulGemOh for fuck's sake. It is not a "test." Do NOT be one of those silly hoes who uses that as a band aid and an excuse to stick around with dickish behavior.
You are telling the truth. We spent the entire evening texting. I had to get some understanding from him so I can really know if I want to deal with or just walk away. He told me he's lactose intolerant and all those empty empty tubs on ice cream he had all over his apartment the other night, messed him up.
I kinda know that's not the case, I didn't even reply like caring I just kept it one word replys. Then I texted if you really just not interested or if you're dealing with your shit then tell me so I can know to move forward from this. He told me that he was absolutely interested but he's just hard to date because his depression. "And that i wouldn't put it past me if I decided to stay friends I can be a lot to handle from time to time." He then said he likes to be alone during his depression.
But he being in his apartment, on the computer and being a gamer, that's not helping his case. That's more isolating. And also he had his friend over that night I came there. But he also lives in the building with him. It just it doesn't seem the same as before I told him goodbye. He also said that night "yeah I am a bit self-centered, I don't think that's the word." He ask seemed a bit avoidant at first.
I'm thinking this is a test of my weakness. I was that a few years ago. Heavily sedated on zombifiying meds, going to weekly appointments. And wreaking havoc and everyone life. After 3 years I'm not on meds and I'm coping with depression, anxiety, and OCD. Even if I am isolating myself...for the sole purpose to heal emotionally, mentally, and physically.
