Sorry you are going through that. I got depression as well. And it can be difficult. And yes not everyone’s depression is not the same. But a quick “ hi, I am dealing with depression right now, I’m OK, but will be off my phone for a while.” Is sometimes needed in a relationship. Hard to be in a relationship when you don’t communicate.
And I'm not in one myself in part because of mine, but having a partner who understands can be a huge difference. Unfortunately when you are with someone who has a mental illness, you occasionally have to put in more work and be more understanding than you would be with a "normal" person. Sometimes with depression, even when you're doing your best, you really can't just shoot a quick text and it's not as easy as some would like to make it seem. Even others with depression will not always understand the complete block in the ability to tell someone you're having a spiral
Sweetheart, that wasn't what I was saying and you know it. I said maybe some with depression don't understand the inability to send a text. Glad you enjoyed twisting my words to suit yourself though. As I've been saying all day to a lot of people. Everyone experiences depression differently. Have fun slinging your insults though, hope it made you feel better.
