I have suffered from depression for at least 10 years. My entire family has some sort of depression and we are all medicated. My boyfriend says I'm not depressed. I feel like he thinks I'm lazy. Whenever I get really depressed and try to talk to him about it, he says,"everybody has the same problems you do. It's how you handle it." Then he changed the subject. Last week I couldn't get out of bed for 2 days and told him sometimes I felt like I wished I were dead and don't understand what the point is. He thinks I'm being a baby and making up excuses for not going to work. Am I doing myself an injustice by continuing in this relationship? Depression is a huge part of my world, and at times I feel like I'm being brushed aside, and like it's not a really illness.
