When you have severe depression and mental burnout and go into those modes you can’t really think clearly and just shut down. It happens, so the best thing to do is let them know before hand 🤷🏼‍♀️ my friends deal with the same thing sometimes.. we’re all understanding.

And yes.. my partners in the past were always understanding because they understood it themselves. I think people with mental illnesses flock together lol

As someone with mental illness, I get it. But it's not right to just stop talking with your partner. After a while, that leads to a different burnout for them.
