So my situationship (soon to be graduating med school, which is relevant) has been in a psych ward since Sunday. I think had a psychotic break, he was getting anxious about his future and next steps etc the last few weeks even though his residency interviews have been going fabulously and he’s been planning second looks etc. Got some texts on the weekend about issues w/ his roommates bc of cultural differences, and potentially staying at mine for a few days. Then alarming texts late at night saying he was fine he wasn’t hurt etc. Sunday, texts that he was at the hospital, thinks his roommates set him up, has some physical injuries but is mostly shaken, and can I come cause he feels like they’re not listening to him (black man). He says a bit later nvm they’re listening now. Then got calls yesterday, checked later in the day, and was him leaving vm that he was in inpatient. Talked to him on the phone last night. The doc initially diagnosed him w schizophrenia and mania but he got him to roll it back cause he knows what he’s talking about (about to graduate med school) but he deffo sounded off. He thought he’d be getting out this morning. Missed a call this morning from him saying it’s an emergency, so pretty sure they’re not letting him out.

So I want to support him, but I also was considering breaking it off when we last saw each other! I think he’s more invested than I am in the relationship, though we both then talked about two weeks ago that this isn’t long term since we’re both leaving the city likely this summer, so we could keep having fun for the next few months etc. and now this is all happening! I should be a good friend and support him. But don’t want him to be dependent on me. And part of me is worried he may accidentally hurt me. Like realistically probably not but what if. I feel bad about thinking that. But I do.
