Hi Feeling Sad. I'm so sorry. I think about the things that he has told me ~ about his highs and lows, his depression, his medication, etc......my sense is that he has been diagnosed and medicated and while he has told me everything AROUND the problem, he hasn't named it. Gratefully, a friend of mine had suspected it some time ago and started me reading all of this. Frankly, it doesn't change anything ~ but it does make it more understandable. I am so much more at peace than I have been ~ and will know how to respond when (and if) I hear from him again. Not counting on it, just preparing.

You'll get through this. Unreturned love is really hard and it sounds like you've been feeling this way for a long time. Trying to keep someone happy who is chemically destined to depression is a project destined to fail.......

Take care of yourself......
