“Get out and do something. i’m not going to sit here and coddle you. stop sulking.”
so i ran away to find someplace i could cry alone. and here i am. i know he loves me and i love him. we just want different ways of showing support. it’s just that now i can’t go home.

I used to deal with that all the time. I do the same thing, run and cry. While grieving my mom and sister…he would say things like “are you still crying and depressed? Come on, when are you going to get over it?” And things like that. I mean really? But some people can be so insensitive. I would like to see him in my position.
It can be hard to speak up for yourself and your needs when you’re so depressed, but help him understand that tough love is overly simple, and in this case is just hurting you.
sounds a bit like a jerk. MAYBE he simply does not know how to deal with depression…. i guess that is understandable. And I guess we all say stupid things some times. Just lousy timing on his part.
My wife is all but a saint – but she did something kinda similar a short time ago. Called me “selfish” for being suicidal.
Hope you are doing ok.
