God, that sounds...er...hair curling!! It would drive me crazy (crazier). My sort of boyfriend (he's showing a renewed interest in making things work this week) is oblivious to a lot of what goes on with me. He's supportive in a general kind of way, which I think works out better sometimes. Because if I get specific and he doesn't understand I get frustrated. He's also consumed with possible bankruptcy right now, so there's not much room for anything else. But last year when I could barely get out bed in the morning, but I'd have a couple of good hours or something he'd say, "you're not depressed. You seem ok right now". He just really doesn't understand depression, the kind I have anyway, and I think it's better if I don't try and make him. And god, remind me not to talk to my mother again anytime soon. we just got in an argument over whether or not she could rsvp for me to relatives I haven't talked to in 20years but she talks to often, about I party I would almost rather kill myself for rather than attend. she just doesn't understand why she "has" to rsvp for me, and thinks it will look really strange. Well she doesn't "have" to, it would just be nice for me if she did. After a few minutes of talking to her I feel bad for having any feeling (like that I would be really uncomfortable talking to these people), for asking her to do it for me, for existing. She's never understood the concept of doing anything for anyone, or having any protective feelings for her young. I said, oh gee, there's my other phone... and I don't even have one.
