Does anyone else have a hard time explaining depression to someone who has never really experienced depression? I do not think that my fiancé really understands depression. When I tell him I am sad, he can not understand that sometimes there is just no reason for it. He says how can you be sad and not know why. It’s hard to explain. I think his understanding of what being depressed is is not accurate either. For example, if he has a bad day at work he says he’s depressed and this makes it even harder to explain. The most frustrating part is he blames himself so often and gets frustrated that I am not happy with him and he can not make me fully happy, he feels like he’s doing something wrong when he’s not. It’s so hard to explain this feeling to people
