My girlfriend (34) externalizes her anxiety and depression. I (37M) am the target of all this externalization. I've had to play therapist while being berated. I have my own bipolar 2 to deal with. Having to carry the weight of two peoples mental health problems left me emotionally burned out.
She's staying with her parents while she tries to get her mental health in order. Meanwhile, I'm by myself trying to heal the burnout. Is there any advice you can give me? What's your experience with emotional burnout with regard to a partner?
