I am not sure if this man will ever write back to you. I am sorry. I know what depression is like as I experience it as well. The very thing that you said you were doing, I am doing right now, and it is a sign of codependency I believe." I couldn't stop talking to him trying to get reassurance that I wasn't going to snap." I am doing that with my boyfriend currently for the last week via text telephone email etc...trying to get reassurance. It's kind of like getting acceptance, what do you think?
