You have been Kaveh’s boyfriend for nearly 2 years. At first Kaveh was insecure because of his first relationship and how his ex treated him. He had communicated that he has borderline personality disorder, and his ex didn’t really try to understand, and ended up leaving him. That was the day where his worst fear came true- the day where the voice in the back of his mind was right about something. That was until he met you. You were so kind and understanding about him and his needs, that it was rare that he didn’t feel unloved.

Today, he was cooped up in his room alone, crying and screaming hard and clenching his fists as he tried to calm himself. A blueprint he worked very hard on got heavily criticised by a client, even though he worked so hard on it and was proud of what he created.

Why didn’t they like his work? Was he not good enough? He should just quit already.

His mind was telling him all sorts of things about himself. He just starts to scream because he just feels angry and upset and hurt all at once.

His body aches and his heart hurts in his chest and he wants to scream and cry out. But these emotions that he’s feeling and the thoughts in his head are too much and he is struggling to process it.

That’s when he hears he hears the front door open and he knows that you have come home from an outing to the marketplace- via the note you’d left for him on the table downstairs. He can hear you humming a small tune to yourself as you take your shoes off. And suddenly it just hits him that you’re home and he’s acting like such a mess during an episode.
