I do not usually talk about this to people but this seems to be a place of understanding and kindness. I sometimes get depressed but my partner gets so very depressed that I dont know how to help him. When he is depressed he just wants to stay in bed and be alone and not even talk or tell me what is wrong. When I try to comfort or talk it seems to only upset him and then I start to feel depressed too. He does not get mad only very sad. He says he has been like this since he was a child. He does not want to take medicine because he says it made him feel strange. I love him and I want to comfort him when he feels so sad and so I feel so unable to help him and that is making me more depressed. I would like to be able to get him to join a group like this but he will not because he is a very private person. But I think talking about how he is feeling may help him get better. I wish he would find a support group. Thank you for listening.
