I have been living with depression and anxiety for as long as I can remember and have been formally diagnosed with major depression for a few years. I’ve been on medication but the last few month have been tough for me. I’ve been overwhelmed and truly not doing enough self care. Today I lost it and had a heated conversation with my SO. That’s basically resolved but I was still feeling very down and exhausted. MY SO then asks why I am “stewing” and not ready to get over it and have a good day. I burst into tears shouting “because I’m depressed and have been  struggling for the last 3 months” to which my SO says… “just don’t be depressed”.
Are you fucking kidding me… if it was that easy believe me I would have jumped off this depression train so so long ago.

I’m just exhausted and looking for some support here. It’s difficult for my SO and family to understand how much something that seems simple can send me into a spiral and I don’t know how to have them support me better instead of making these stupid comments.
