I'm currently in a state of mild depression, I've already gone through a bad depression 3 years ago. I'm in Australia but I'm Italian, I don't have any friends here apart from my housemates, that are all part of my boyfriend's family.
Now, I know that being around someone in my state isn't easy or fun, but yesterday he told me this: "It's frustrating seeing you like this, it makes me really angry, it makes me livid. Sometimes I think you're just taking the piss". And this after I had another crying attack, which I'm not proud of but that I really can't control.
Now, I already feel quite lonely and isolated sometimes (I've been here for 8 months) but last night I really felt helpless, as if I really didn't know what to say or do.
He loves me, he really does, and I understand that it's hard for him to see this part of me. But sometimes the things he says make me feel even guiltier for being like this, or he uses sarcasm and ridiculises what I'm feeling.
What should I do?
