I'm in this catch-22 of wanting to communicate and have effective conflict resolution about the way they are currently communicating and handling conflict resolution. has had mood swings, intense states of agitation and irritability, and there have been a couple of things I've let slide that I would not have let slide had I not been thoroughly warned about what was coming. In the nearly two weeks since it's run out, my S.O. For a combination of reasons (healthcare system crap), the medication has become inaccessible for the foreseeable future. My significant other has been on an antidepressant for a number of years that works really well for them. Everything has been really amazing between us and we complement each other very well in a lot of ways. I don't really give people chances but I was willing to give him a huge one. What should I do?

I feel very disappointed because he is the very first guy I have ever liked, let alone an accountant. I don't usually send texts but my text was the last one and he hasn't gotten back to me.
