@genericartdad: Replying to @JellyButtBaby Thank you for asking this! How do we talk with our partners about their mental health? How do we share information that might be helpful to them? I firmly believe things like mental health need to be discussed with our partners but it can be a sensitive topic. I am a huge fan of disclaimers! Super direct communication around our intentions, pre-clarifying something that will likely be misunderstood, or just generaly navigating situations that illicit big emotions. Putadisclaimeronit!!

There are “disclaimers” that help me. But I can’t put off any conversation. Shit - I start to spiral after I get a text that says “hey” (1)

I have tried this, using a disclaimer. We cannot agree on how to reschedule when it is not a good time. My partner doesn't want to commit to a time because he doesn't know when he will be in a better

My husband and I do this with financial topics. It’s helped to prevent a lot of tension in our relationship.

The hardest thing for me to not panic about: “We need to talk.” I literally feel my whole body go numb while my brain races.

I always ask “Ayo, do you have the space for this?” And it works decently well!

This has been such a positive among my friends! Simply saying “are you in the headspace for me to vent” has saved us from so much needless spiraling
