I think im just hurting him

---

I love my boyfriend an incredible amount- i've never loved anyone more.

But lately i've been on some new meds and it's driving me bonkers, i think im just hurting him- im down, hard to be with and basically difficult in any way.

Everyone's noticed i've changed and he keeps telling me he loves me and i will get better, but i can tell im bad for him; I think he wants more space and i want to be closer to him coz i'm in a really delicate position right now , both at home and in college.
I really want his hugs and cuddles and tell him about my recurring nightmares about him and my family but i don't want to bother him or bring him down.

Does anyone have any opinions/suggestions? x

Welcome to A2A, rocky.I presume you're in the settling-in period of the new meds? In that case things will eventually get better (or you'll change the meds). In the meantime, I think you should be guided by what he explicitly says, not what you think he feels. I've found that it's all too easy to misjudge how someone else feels, because you're feeling so bad. He probably wants to be helpful to you.Of course you'll give him some space, but ask him if he needs more - believe his word over your feeling.

i would have to agree with Ineligible on that go by what he says not how you think he feels i agree on that.

have you tried telling him about how you feel? and tried talking it out with him?

Trying to read things into a man's actions is a fools pass time, don't do it. If he didn't want you he would find a way to leave. If he says he wants you and wants to stay there's no reason to question him.

Give the meds time to work, which is about six weeks before improvement.

Hey i've spoken to him about it on the phone and he said he understands why i felt the way i did; he feels we've both been going through a lot and he feels that we've both been pretty distant from each other because of work commitments etc. So we're going to spend some more time together when we get time at the weekend Thanks for your help guys x
