Not everyone can give that though, because there can be a lot of fear when a loved one is suffering from mental illness..maybe he's just scared and doesn't know how to help? Some people don't (this is not excusing his behavior though).

Depression can often make us see the negative in EVERYTHING. I understand that, you're not alone. I'm a sufferer myself. I hope you can get to see someone professional so they can give you more insight into what you're going through. Just remember you have support here and you're not alone
Everything is going to be okay
Thank you, and I have had an episode almost a year ago and he was very caring, understanding, and compassionate about it, but then I was fine for those 9 months and the episode came back and now he just gets mad at everything I do. I feel like I just stress him out, because I know his job is stressful enough and I don't get to see him that much anymore because he is always working. But when he is home, he doesn't pay much attention to me, he is always on his phone or the computer and that used to not bother me that bad, but ever since this episode came back, all I want want is just to have a simple conversation with him and he can barely do that anymore. I feel like I am being too needy, and it's frustrating.
