Hi everyone! I hope you all are feeling okay tonight... lots of hugs to anyone who's not!!

So, I just have a quick question. I've been feeling very down for the past few weeks. My husband works a travelling job, and it's been going on 5 weeks since we've seen each other. I miss him... And he's not having the best time either. I wrote a post about this a few days ago, so I'm not repeating myself I swear. I just am wondering, is there any way that I can get him to think about what he's saying to me? I've been heavily depressed for going on 2 and half years, and this is the third time this has happened this bad in my life. We've been together for 3 years, so for most of the time, I've been like this. I can tell it's very wearing on him, very tiring and that it gets frustrating and annoying. I get frustrated and annoyed with myself, I can only imagine how he feels. So when he's not doing so hot, I try to make myself just swallow everything and be positive for him. But lately, he's not been doing the same for me. He gets frustrated that I'm sad for no reason, he thinks it's him all the time (which is horrible for me; it puts me on a guilt trip, knowing that I'm hurting him and can't help it) So, I think you're getting the point.

All I need is to maybe hear some things that I can suggest to him that he should say? I don't want to be cruel at all, I just need him to understand that my feelings aren't normal, they aren't rational, and so he needs to learn what to say to me. It doesn't help for him to tell me that he feels depressed sometimes too, because I know he's just sad, not truly screwed up like I am. That sounds so insensitive... that's not how I mean it. But anyway, just some way of getting my point across that sometimes the way he reacts to me hurts even worse, and that there's ways for him to talk to me that will help us both.

Thanks for your time!
