Dear Dr. Michelle:
My significant other doesn't believe me when I tell them I have a mental illness. It is really affecting our relationship as she doesn't respect me when I tell her I need extra time or space. How else can I show her what I am going through?
Sincerely,
Harry

Check out the full conversation in the video below.
