im really hurt and sad.

my boyfriend is suffering a little bit of depression and im trying to be there for him. so today i was talking to him and i was telling him that im trying to talk to him and help him. he said “omg u should be the last person to help someone who is on the edge. not only would u convince them to do it but u would convince them to do it faster than planned.” ive been sensitive these days and i havent been able to sleep thinking that hes sad and depressed. and he really hurt me when he said that. and u dont know how much ive tried to talk to him and seem happy for him even when i am sad. ive been giving him advice and trying to be his girl. and today like a little while ago he said that and he hurt my feelings. u dont need to reply. but thanks for listening.

When someone is suffering from depression, they tend to lash out verbally. It could be that you had nothing to do with his out burst. I would still try to make him realise that it’s not fair to talk to you like that. He needs to be reminded how lucky he is to have a girlfriend. Not everyone is that fortunate.

I would speak to him and get him to understand that as tough as his situation is, he needs to be more sensitive when speaking to you. Maybe he needs to count to ten before he speaks. Words can cut deep if we don’t think carefully before we speak.

Think of it this way.

If you was going to give some bad news, you would first say something positive. Then you would point out the flaws that need to be worked on.

Remind him how much you care and all the good things he does, then bring up the way he speaks to you but, try to make it not seem too important. Just say that it’s something he needs to work on and maybe add something you think you need to work on as well. That way he won’t feel too bad.
