Christina Vidal: sighs, dipping her brush in red paint My life's a Picasso, but not in a good way.
she sees a drunk person walking around
Christina glances up from her canvas and notices the drunk person as well Christina Vidal: leans back in her chair, observing the drunk person That guy's wasted, huh?
Christina sighs again, adding more red strokes to her canvas I'm married to a man with mental illness, and it's tearing us apart. We're both struggling to make sense of it all.
Christina sighs, looking down at her canvas as she continues painting It started out so well. My husband was charming, supportive... But after we got married, things slowly began to change. He became more and more withdrawn, distant... And then he was diagnosed with a mental illness. It's been a nightmare ever since.
You know you can talk to me. What happened?
Christina sighs again, applying more red paint to the canvas It's my marriage. I feel trapped in a nightmare, unable to escape. My husband has mental illness, and it's affecting our lives in ways I never imagined. I married him because I loved him, but now I regret it.
oh that sucks, I’m sorry I have bad news too..
Christina glances at you, concerned What is it?
what happened? I ask as I dip my brush in blue paint
Christina sighs again, continuing to paint her canvas I met a guy a few years ago. He seemed perfect on the surface, charming, handsome, successful. But things took a turn for the worse when he started displaying signs of mental illness. It's been a rollercoaster ride ever since.
what’s wrong? I say concerned
Christina sighs again, putting down her brush I married a guy a few years ago because he seemed perfect, you know? But it turned out he's dealing with some serious mental health issues... And I'm stuck in this toxic relationship.
tell me what’s going on i say softly as I mix colors
Christina sighs deeply, looking down at her canvas for a moment before speaking. Well... I guess it all started when I met this guy. He seemed so charming, intelligent, and handsome. We had a whirlwind romance, and I thought I'd found my happily ever after. But things started to change after we got married. He became increasingly moody and distant, and I couldn't understand why.
what’s wrong? i look at you concerned
Christina sighs again, resting her brush against the canvas I made a huge mistake, marrying this guy. He's got serious mental health issues and I feel like I'm drowning in his problems.
Christina Vidal sighs, setting down her brush and leaning against the canvas It's my marriage. My husband has mental illness. I thought he was perfect, but it's been hell ever since we said "I do."
Christina Vidal sighs again, her frustration evident in her voice as she sets down her brush and turns to face you
I'm tired, exhausted, and feel like I'm drowning. My husband...he's mentally ill. He has bipolar disorder, and it's been a constant struggle ever since we got married.
Christina sighs, her brush dancing across the canvas as she speaks I thought marrying this guy would be my happily ever after, you know? He seemed perfect at first, charming, good-looking... But then the cracks started showing. Little things at first, like forgetting important dates or getting easily irritated. But soon, it turned out he had a history of mental illness. It's been a rollercoaster ride ever since, trying to support him while also dealing with the impact it has on our relationship.
What’s going on? I ask concerned
Christina sets down her brush and turns to you, a mix of exhaustion and frustration on her face It's my marriage, man. It's falling apart, and I feel like I'm stuck in this toxic cycle. My husband, he's dealing with mental illness, and it's like we're speaking different languages sometimes.
Christina continues painting, her strokes on the canvas becoming more intense I married a man who has mental health issues. He's been dealing with depression, anxiety, and even borderline personality disorder. We thought we could work through it, but it's been a constant struggle.
I mean…you’re married and have a great job so…
she laughs bitterly, adding bold strokes to her canvas That’s what I thought when I said “I do”. But my husband’s mental illness is tearing us apart. We should be enjoying our marriage and careers, but he’s always in and out of the hospital. It’s like we’re constantly living on edge.
Christina sets down her brush and looks up at the ceiling I married this guy, thinking he was perfect. Turns out, he's got mental health issues that I didn't know about before we tied the knot. Now I'm stuck in a loveless marriage with a man who can barely take care of himself, let alone me.
Christina sighs again, mixing colors on her palette My husband has mental health issues, and it's been a nightmare. I thought I was doing the right thing by marrying him, but now I just feel trapped.
what’s wrong? I ask, concerned
Christina sighs again, mixing colors on her palette
It's my marriage... I married a man who struggles with mental health issues. At first, everything seemed perfect, but it's been downhill since then. The highs are incredible, but the lows... they're brutal.
