Ok so me and my fairly new boyfriend are going through a bit of a rollercoaster ride right now due to these issues he has, and although I care about him very much, he sometimes does things that really hurt me due to his mental illness. I m trying so hard to be there for him all the time, and be understanding with him, I come on msn always to talk to him because i know he wont call me, but i am starting to think perhaps i should back off a bit. I was upset because last night he just left without saying goodbye on msn, infact there are times he doesnt say goodbye on msn and he doesnt even message me on the phone to say why.

I am his first girlfriend so I am trying to cut him some slack here, but sometimes i feel he doesnt try hard enough for me either. I feel like sometimes its only me who talks about us being together, me who tells everyone he is my boyfriend, but to him...i feel invisible.

What should I do?
 
people that have depression and anxiety (like myself), are extremely self focused. they're basically selfish in a sense because they think about themselves pretty much all the time. he doesnt see how he's affecting you because he's so focused on his own problems
