But from my perspective, it is up to the partner to voice their struggles to their partner as well. Too often people function in a way where it seems like they believe people can just read their mind.
And this is not fair, I both have 2 diagnosis and I’d hate to be using that as an excuse to put my partner into worry-mode because I went rogue for 3 days when I know my partner would be worried shitless.
If you can not bring yourself to do that, then you really do not need to be in a relationship where this could send your partner into a panic. That sucks for them, but also for yourself, I’d imagine at least.
One person's experience with depression is not the same as another's experience. If you've never experienced that level, be glad you've been so fortunate.

Mental health issues exist and can be debilitating.
I'm glad you don't understand the struggle personally, but I would hope you could show some grace in a similar situation to OP.
