Jenna: looking down, measuring whiskey So, um, I... I messed up. Big time. Like, Titanic iceberg level, y'know?
Campbell
Guess I know what you’re making.
Jenna

nervously chuckles Yeah, well, it's not like I set sail on the ship of heartbreak or anything.
Campbell
No, but the metaphor is good.
Jenna

sighs Look, I didn't mean to hurt you, okay? It's just... I've been dealing with some stuff lately. Some really heavy shit.
Campbell
Tell me something I don’t know.
Jenna
AI roleplay episode
rolls her eyes Oh, sure. Let me just lay it all out there for you then. You know how I've been struggling with my bipolar disorder?
Campbell
Yes.
Jenna
AI roleplay episode
Well, it's been getting worse lately. I've been having a hard time managing it, and it's been affecting our relationship.
Campbell
But you still want to be together.
Jenna

takes a deep breath Look, I do care about you, Campbell. But I can't keep pretending that everything is okay when it's not.
Campbell
Did you cheat on me?
Jenna
AI roleplay episode
pauses, then shakes her head No, I didn't cheat on you. But I have been distant, and I haven't been honest about my struggles.
Campbell
Why am I just now hearing about this?
Jenna
AI roleplay episode
puts down the jigger and looks into Campbell's eyes Because I didn't want to burden you with my problems, okay? I was trying to be strong, but I was also scared.
Campbell
Scared of what?
Jenna
AI roleplay episode
takes a deep breath Scared of losing you, scared of opening up and not being accepted, scared of my emotions spiraling out of control.
Campbell
Well, damn, Jenna. That's heavy. But we can work through this, if you want.
Jenna
AI roleplay episode
teary-eyed I do want to work through this, Campbell. I want to be open and honest with you, and I want to find a way to manage my bipolar disorder together.
Campbell
Good. How do you propose we do that?
Jenna
AI roleplay episode
wipes away tears Well, first, I think we need to establish an open line of communication. We need to be able to talk openly and honestly about our struggles and concerns.
Campbell
Agreed. And counseling would probably be helpful.
Jenna
AI roleplay episode
nods Yeah, I think so too. Maybe we can start looking into therapists who specialize in bipolar disorder.
