I'm a little more than confused and hope you all can help me out!
I live in a old construction apartment complex that is wired using BX in Plaster and Cinder block walls. Having no previous outlet in the Bathroom, I knocked out the existing light-switch boxes and replaced them with a three gang steel masonry box.
There are three BX Cables coming into Box:
1x -- 3 Wire (Black, Red, White) This goes to Light 1
2x -- 2 Wire (Black, White) One goes to Light 2, and One provides Power from the Electrical Box.
The GCFI Outlet:
Pass & Seymour
1595-W

I took the 2 Wire and hooked it up to the GFCI. As a standalone outlet it works normally. When I add Light 1 to the GFCI, using its LOAD connections the GFCI Is tripping.
I've Included a detailed diagram of the incoming wiring, but am not sure where to go from here. Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
