I've been feeling a little less depressed the last few days, but tonight I'm struggling again. I was just having dinner with my boyfriend, and he made a joking comment about how my childhood wasn't really that bad. (I grew up with an alcoholic single mother who had severe untreated mental health issues.It wasn't good.) First I got a little mad at his lack of understanding, and then I started feeling really flooded by difficult memories of my childhood, and started to cry in the restaurant. My boyfriend apologized, but really didn't know what to say. Now, I'm just trying to not let the way I'm feeling now override the progress I feel like I've made this week in dealing with my depression. The last couple of days I've felt more hopeful, I've made it to all my shifts at work, and I've gotten some productive things done at home. Now, I just feel like curling up in bed and hiding.
