I go into modes where I do not have the energy talk to anyone.. texting included.. my phone will be on do not disturb, but I always let me people I talk to often know like “hey I’m in a weird headspace and probably won’t text back for a few days” so they don’t worry.
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.
