You can't expect her to be okay so quickly when she struggles
with depression. She's hurting. She's still working out how
to manage that and it can be a tough and scary process. You never
know what's going to trigger it. You don't know when the
bad days are coming. Nothing.
It can make maintaining a relationship very difficult,
especially
one with someone who has baggage of his own.Sometimes,
people like us, we need a break. We need a chance to fix what was
broken. We need a chance to fix ourselves instead of others
trying.Watching
disappointment when people can't fix us makes it worse. So we
remove ourselves from that situation for as long as we need.
But
sometimes, people misunderstand that. They expect things to get
better quickly. They expect progress or change. Sometimes the bad
things are so strong that they never go away. And that's what
she's trying to deal with. She's dealing with a lot.
Chances are, she always will be. And that's something you have
to try to understand.
