Super,
Been there, done that. My wife is the same way sometimes. If you can I would suggest taht you set up a time with your therapist to go in with your g/f. He can then help you talk out some of the thoughts you are having in a safe environment. He may also be able to help her understand better some of the problems you are going through.
I know it's frustrating but if she is open to a little therapy session herself, you may be able to get past some of this.
> It seems like whenever I bring up feelings that my girlfriend doesn't understand, she attributes my feelings to my mental illness and tells me to talk to my therapist about the feelings. I feel like she dismisses my feelings this way, so it is hard for me to get her to take me seriously. Anyone else have a significant other who does this? She has also voiced concerns that I will go crazy and steal her money (or do something else detrimental to her) in the future. It's not that she's stupid or ill-informed, it's just that she has all these prejudices.
