Having a boyfriend who understands what it's like to be chronically ill is often so validating and wholesome. They know your special needs, you know theirs and you can take care of each other and be good to each other, depending on who's doing currently better and who is doing worse.
But right now it's one of those situations again where we both are in pain and having a bad phase in general.
It really sucks to not be able to help the other person when you see they're clearly suffering. And it's equally awful to reach out for the one you need and want in this situation but you're just grasping at nothing.
I feel so incredibly lonely and down...
And I really wish my support network was bigger than just him but most of my friends are really struggling themselves or don't really get what I am going through so I reaching out to them ends up making me feel lonlier than before.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that we live 20min apart from each other using public transport
