I wonder it that is simply an observation rather than the judgement you are hearing.

I'm not depressed each time I go in. Sometimes I am so depressed and held back I can hardly speak. Other times I feel at ease and can speak easily. It depends on what is going on in my life, and that can be little things too; the way I interpret something someone has said, or if I decide I can know what another is thinking, for example.

What's important is what it is I'm reacting to, how I'm reacting, and where that reaction might have originated. We talk about those things.

Do you ask him more about statements like these? Ask to say more about them?

Could you say, "Yes you're right sometimes I don't feel so depressed. I think it's because... " Or, "I don't know why that happens." Or, "I wsh I could communicate easier or better." Or, "It seems like you feel angry when I feel depressed. Why is that?"

Explore, explore, explore. Keep working at the communicating. I think you communicate very well here and I wonder if you are communicating fine there too but you don't think you are.

Just my thoughts and I hope you feel better.
