Hey Dexter - for what it's worth, we're ALL alone when it comes down to it. When my boyfriend is really depressed, he's almost disabled. I can't count on him to even get out of bed when he's feeling bad, let alone listen to MY problems or help ME with stuff that we both need to do to get by (such as laundry, errands, etc -- all the stuff that he has time to do since he doesn't work and I don't because I work extra hours to compensate for his lack of income). I'm on my own emotionally, financially, physically too -- and have to do 2 people's work instead of just my own. Neither my family nor his understands how bad it is.

So I hear ya. It sucks. But we need to press on. The only person you can really count on is yourself. That's not a bad realization, either....

We are ALL going to be a-ok!
