My partner thinks my depression is a cop out

Any time someone doesn’t feel well be it physical or mental, it stands to reason a person may not be able to be with them in that way or any way. Depression is no matter to dismiss. Please try to discount what he is saying because it’s just wrong.

Be sure to take meds if you do, continue therapy if you do, address this with the medication management doctor so they know what you are dealing with and can help devise a helpful strategy to diffuse the situation.

His being this way won’t encourage you, is selfish and won’t help the situation. That is manipulative to try to guilt you into doing something you are not ready to.

I used to be with someone who only thought those kinds of doctors do is give drugs. He didn’t want me to get help so I didn’t. I suffered. I got help after I left him and discovered a lot. One thing is that SOME are foolish and not really loving and SOME care and are loving. There is a stark contrast between now and my ex.

Without focusing on him, focus on getting well yourself. If you get fixated on him you could fall through the cracks.

I’m sorry this is happening to you.

I hope you feel better very soon.

💜
