Scenario

When couples with shared disabilities become isolated together

My girlfriend and I both have anxiety and ADHD, and we've created this bubble where we accommodate each other's struggles so well that we barely leave the house or see other people anymore. We're so good at being broken together that I'm scared we're making each other smaller, but I also don't know how to grow without losing the deep understanding we have.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Mutual understanding has created a safe cocoon that may also be a cage, and expanding feels like betrayal.
