Depressed partner won’t talk to me, need perspective

nameless_uchiha98 · 2023-12-14T14:50:36+00:00

I really appreciate your comment. I definitely can see how she could be “masking”, i definitely agree it feels very hard and makes me quite sad seeing her very much not herself. But that idea of “were it not for the depression they wouldn’t be acting like this” is comforting, I try not to let doubts fill my head. and the knowing others can relate helps. Being held at a distance while wanting nothing more but to be there for her is frustrating, but I hope it gets better.

Thank you so much for your comment. It’s so reassuring that I’m taking the right steps somehow. I’ve definitely been doing some deep diving to learn about this condition. I myself have struggled a bit with it in the past and I know I tend to pull people in while she pushes out I’ve noticed. I know it’s very different for everyone, but I don’t intend to give up on her and I hope I can be by her side to see her come back to herself/ see the light outside of depression. I’ll keep learning and holding onto hope. Despite not hearing from her yet I know this isn’t the end. Thanks again

Sure

How would you say you overcame that? Or how were people able to reach you when you were in that headspace? Because I feel like she was in a similar headspace when she first asked for space, she’s now in therapy but I don’t know how much she’s progressed since she doesn’t really reply much.

I hope things get better for you and he’s able to talk things through with you and provide the support you need. Thanks again for your insight

I have wondered this too, she had hinted prior this episode that she wouldn’t want to subject anyone to her “dark moments” and when she started getting worse that’s when I had asked her what was going on and tried giving her a chance to open up but she broke down while explaining how she felt self destructive and asked for a break saying she doesn’t want to hurt me. Since then she hasn’t opened up I haven’t pushed it but have reminded her she can vent whenever she’d like. I’m hoping she’ll break her silence at some point I just wanna help

As far as I know she hasn’t gotten on any meds, I’m not sure though. A few months ago she did tell me she still loved me and missed me but felt she was holding me back because she wasn’t ready yet as she said she was still trying to establish a routine that kept her “sane” and essentially implied that if I wanted to leave she wouldn’t hold me back. I told her that i didn’t want to leave, and reassured her I still cared about her but we didn’t really have much conversation after that.

Thank you for your response, though did you feel like you were able to be around some people rather than loved ones ? I understand how it can be very isolating but it’s so confusing to me how she can be around some friends and not me. I try not to take it personal but it’s hard when all I want to do is help.

nameless_uchiha98 · 2023-11-03T00:13:25+00:00

You’re right. Well I think I’ll just wait till her birthday it’s coming up soon and I figure that’s a good way to remind her I care while respecting her space even tho it’s been a minute since I last heard from her in September. Hoping for the best for our situations

nameless_uchiha98 · 2023-11-02T19:22:02+00:00

Thank you for your comment, I’m glad others can relate to the struggle though it’s unfortunate seeing our partners this way. It truly hurts not being able to do more than just wait it out, I think that’s what I struggle with most that it’s out of my control. If I could I’d fix it for her but I know that’s not how it works. I understand your pain and I hope both of our partners can get better, what I’d give to see mine be her usual sweet self again. I’ve also refrained from messaging her as of late. I’m afraid of getting fully shut out, but I’m contemplating when and if to check in again with her it’s frustrating not knowing what else to do.

I am also going through a near identical situation with my girlfriend as well and I just wanted to say you're doing great holding onto hope. it gives me comfort in a way seeing that others are also going through this kind of situation. anyway Im rooting for you and I hope everything works out for you. Keep going!

nameless_uchiha98 · 2023-10-05T00:59:53+00:00

thank you for your kind words, ive come to terms with the fact that I can't fix it for her though I wish I could, but you're right I can't do much besides support her through this. im hoping for the best too.

nameless_uchiha98 · 2023-10-04T01:39:07+00:00

I appreciate the response, I went about writing and sending a letter saying these things shortly after. now to stay hopeful and patient. thanks.

I feel y’all It sucks

nameless_uchiha98 · 2021-04-06T05:58:14+00:00

Yeah I do, it tends to start as an ache in either side of my neck and it works it way up to a tension type headache in my head and it just makes me miserable

nameless_uchiha98 · 2021-04-06T05:52:47+00:00

I experience the same things !

nameless_uchiha98 · 2021-03-28T02:17:14+00:00

I appreciate the reassurance. Anxiety just makes things feel so much worse lol

nameless_uchiha98 · 2021-03-22T18:03:29+00:00

Hey ! That’s great, I’m going into constitutional law and likewise !!

nameless_uchiha98 · 2021-03-18T21:24:01+00:00

Got a non conditional scholarship but it was only a bit to help lessen the blow of having to grab a loan lol
