What a depressed person expect from his girlfriend

Posted by nermo64 @nermo64, Oct 18, 2023

I send to my depressed isolated boyfriend everyday an encouraging message or asking how he feels sometimes he replies and sometimes no answer . When I don't send him an sms for 3 days he send me an sms asking if I am ok and when I reply that I was busy for a reason he disappear again .I can't understand him .What does he expect from me

Yes, in my experience, that is true. Damaged people do damage people. One prominent example of this is obvious when observing a wide circle of legal problems among people who helped a famous politician whose name will not be mentioned. My late husband was a depressed person, wonderful but his “blue funks” could be painful to me. A “rescuer,” I worked hard trying to help him. Later I sought the help of a psychologist who suggested that in the future, when I see a depressed person to run the other direction. Each of us must try to be responsible for our own moods while being loving to others. Also, we must learn to recognize our limits. Sending empathetic good cheer. May we find daily joys!
