I get depressive episodes where i shutoff completely and time tics by and I haven’t talked to anyone or even thought about anyone. I get really down into my own thoughts and shut out other people . And recently my girlfriend has been sad and irritated that I haven’t talked to hear a lot of made plans at all for a week. And I try to explain to her how I’m feeling but she doesn’t really get it . And she gets sad that I’m not giving her any attention. Which makes me feel more down but also kinda angry that it becomes about here which is a bad move from me . And I think that I get better at explaining depression and that I will have these episodes maybe she will manage it better.

So anyone have any like good explaination they give about depression to people you are close with?


Tldr: my girlfriend doesn’t get my depression and gets sad at how I’m acting . How do I I explain it better to her
