Hello everyone,
I hope you're all having a great day. I am a new member on this site. I have been visiting the site for years now and the people here are wonderful and supportive and helped us a lot of time.
My partner has been diagnosed with Crohn's disease for many years now. The last few months have been especially tough on him, emotionally and physically. I want to help and support him in anyone possible. I feel like I am failing and I am being really weak when he needs someone strong and unselfish by his side. I want to know in what ways can I help? how do I stop being selfish and stop worrying about my feelings being hurt when he is upsrt and is having a bad day? I want to be strong for him and loving. He is not happy and I feel like I am failing in making him happy or in making any positive impact on his life. We live apart, I get to see him from time to time but we talk everyday. How can I make him feel better, at least on the emotional level? I get so emotional when he is not ok. My love for him is pure and I will never walk away from him no matter how bad this gets. I always say I am not ok till he is ok. But I want to change that and make everything ok when he is not ok.
I am sorry about the rant. Feel free to be hard on me and tell me to grow up and get it together cause what he's going through is a lot and doesn't need more drama in his life.
Thank you, wishing you all health, joy and well being. Love
