u shouldn't be worried about his feelings when telling him what YOURE going thru. coddling him and convincing him he's not the reason ur depressed when telling him about YOUR depression shouldn't need a spotlight to make him feel better. this is abt you rn girl, u can make a quick comment abt how obv ur relationship w him isn't any of the reason ur feeling depressed but u shouldn't need to do anymore than tht. this is abt u struggling mentally nothing abt him& if he makes it abt him
i do appreciate the sentiment but it's not really like that. he's a great person who's self critical and i'm worried he's gonna think he made me depressed, when he didn't. he wouldn't be trying to make it about himself, he'd just be worried he hurt me in some way. i'm not trying to coddle him, i'm trying to be considerate of how he'd feel too. I just want to know how to tell him i'm struggling without him feeling like he isn't good enough to make me happy if that makes sense
