My partner is always there for me, no matter how many times that I have been horrible to him and pushed him away. He truly listens to me, and has all the time for me, despite him having a busy career. He is a very positive person, despite what he has seen in his career. His positivity helps me at times. He makes me laugh, when I am down, and surprises me with little gifts. There is nothing that he will not do for me, however I dont mean he is a doormat.
I apologise for my behaviour to him and feel so unhappy about how I behave, however the peri menopause and menopause on top of what I already have, can turn me into a pyschotic mad woman. Hormonal upheaval makes my existing anxiety and depression so much worse.
He tries to understand how I feel with agoraphobia, anxiety, social anxiety and depression, not to mention the mood swings. He has been put through hell emotionally I am sure, because of me, but he stays, he is calm, positive and reassuring and he never ever has given up on me, when I know most men would have.
I have had mental health issues since 14, but never sought help until a few years ago. Unfortunately due to cutbacks the help was almost non existent. I self help instead.
The peri menopause and menopause made me so ill as it aggravated my mental health. that I had an hellish breakdown. I went through bad enough times with severe pre menstrual tension and post natal depression. The breakdown was the worst. That was in the last few years.The peri menopause and menopause made me so ill as it aggravated my mental health. that I had an hellish breakdown.

It left me agoraphobic, however I can get out with my gorgeous dog, or a trusted person.
If a partner stays with the other who is going through bad times be it mental or physical health then I believe that truly shows the meaning of the word "love".
