What is love?

How do u know if ur in love? What is love, how would u describe it? Yesterday was my 6 month mark with my boyfriend and I still haven’t said that I love him… I just don’t know if it’s serious but it feels like it could be, I’ve been in really bad relationships and it’s scared me away from feeling love, I don’t know how it feels so how do I know if I feel it… plus the dang meds kinda mellow out my mood to a steady numbness… so IDK, what y’all think? :thinking::heart_eyes:

My advice is ask yourself these two questions: do you love yourself and is that special someone aware not just “know” that you have a mental illness. As bob Marley says. “Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet

He’s definitely aware, we discussed it on our first date cause he brought up that he was schizo affective, which happens to be what I’m diagnosed with… small world… we weren’t even at a clinic or anything… and I do love myself, I’m comfortable being single and have no problem being alone, it’s just extremely nice being with him, I can’t really see myself without him

Good on both answers. Sounds like you’re on track. Just remember you both have a disease which has pros and cons. Ask yourself would you trigger each other? What would happen if you had your worst episode and/or what if they did. Could you handle it? Cuz life throws curve balls. I’m not a dr or anything but if any problems go to a therapist together because “our” minds sometimes perceive what they want to and an objectivethir part professional “if” you hit any bumps should be able to help. Best of luck

Love is an unknown word for me :smile:

I’m still yet to find out :frowning:

Love for me is not a destination but a journey. As time has gone by I’ve fallen more and more in love with my girlfriend. We make sacrifices for each other. We’re a team. When I’m down she picks me up, and when she’s down I pick her up. This happens intuitively.

If we were in Walmart, and some guy takes out a gun, I’m going to protect her (this happens without thinking about it). He will have to kill me first.

Love is when you love someone and still want them at their worst. When they’re in a bad mood or sick you still love and want them. Its when you can’t imagine life without them. When you’re excited to see them for years on end every time they come through the door. Its when you know their faults and still love and want them with those too.

Not trying to be an ass, but I thought of this when I saw this title.

Took me back to 2005, thank you

Love is when you ask your wife…

“Hey honey, where’s that…THING??”

And she replies…

“Top shelf in the bedroom closet!”

(You can read each other’s minds!) :wink:
