My boyfriend has OCD and told me not to talk about my SH or suicidal ideation since he might obsess over it. Kinda like he’s never had depression and doesn’t want to start now. I get it, but I just feel so alone now. Starting to feel like I can’t go on

Is he getting treatment? Is there other ways he can support you that don’t require you talking about it? Cause otherwise that is a bit selfish of him tbh (am I say this as someone with OCD & have had those kind of themes). I know how debilitating it can be but as your bf he should still be finding other ways to show he cares and that you’re not alone in it.

He’s not getting treatment. He did say that he could still support my with my depression, but he doesn’t seem to understand. I’ve tried telling him, but when he says all families have problems, it feels like he’s invalidating my struggles and PTSD. Like, no, they didn’t just “make mistakes”.
