I find myself in a slightly agitated state of mind tonight. For the most part, things have been pretty good with the boyfriend and I have let a few things slide because of it. However, in the past three weeks I have gotten a total of 2 evening phone calls. I know it sounds petty but the little things do count.
We see each other once, maybe twice a week. An ongoing method of communication is important to a relationship regardless of what is going on, good or bad. I am worried that he is beginning to seclude himself yet again. He wasn't quite himself yesterday when I did see him and when I stopped by his apartment to drop something off he seemed out of it again. I think he isn't taking his medicine regularly but I could be wrong. I can't remember the day he got his new bottle of medicine to know how many he should have left. To top things off, he forgot to go to his appointment on Friday. You would never know this man was once in charge of an entire group of men.
I am an extremely patient person and can work with him as long as he actually puts forth the effort. I am not willing to mother him though, nor should I feel as though he needs it. I guess it's just one of those not so good times coming back. It's unfortunate there isn't more available for our veterans to help them cope with this disorder that greatly affects their ability to maintain relationships and a clear head. Right now, the only available support group through the VA hospital meets on a night neither of us can go....Frustrating :(
