i've had a really difficult day coping with my depression through my journal i asked my partner for help as we have a shared journal to try and help each other or so i thought.anyway she read it and basically has not mentioned a thing i wrote in it,not even asked if i'm ok now.so this has just made me think she doesn't care.
can't help feeling like this why won't she help me.why has she ignored it all.she says she wants me to communicate so she can help but when i do it's like she's not listening.i know you guys on here listen and i'm very grateful for that.

It may be that she's thinking about what you wrote. Give her a little time.

If you have a shared journal to try and help each other, you should bring that up. It has to work both ways if it's going to help you both. Open communication is necessary and you may have to remind her of that.

Don't forget that we all have personal demons to deal with. Your words to her may have struck a nerve and she isn't sure how to respond to them/you. Open communication is detrimental to any LTR. Will she talk to you if you ask her?

Exactly Cerr.....she may just not know what to say. It's hard, but maybe you should bring it up yourself. Are you sure she read it?

yes she asked to read it.i did bring up one subject in it to her about someone knocking on our door in the early hours again and scaring me but i never even got an answer as such she just brushed it aside

Maybe some gentle counseling would help?

Maybe write a new journal, talking about how hurt/scared you are by her lack of reaction? Maybe it';s less scary for her in print?

Oh,I agree with a new Journal entry,reacting to your partner's non-reaction.Then, try showing that to her,or read it to her.See what she does THEN! Good luck hun!

I was in a bad way a few years ago. When I was hospitalized my husband told me that he is supposed to be my protector. He said that there was nothing he could do to make me feel better and there was nothing he could do to take the pain away. He felt like no matter what he did and no matter how hard he tried..I wasnt getting any better. He said he felt like a failure. He said that the hardest thing he had to face was that depression is just there. No body, no voice. He said if it did HE WOULD HAVE KICKED ITS ASS.lol Maybe your other half has the same feelings. Maybe taking it all in. Just give it a little bit of time. Keep in mind...depression is a family illness. You may have it but it hurts everyone around you.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
