Whenever I'm depressed, my primary relationship devolves into this dramatic awful mess. We have non stop fights and stop understanding each other at all. This of course spurs further hopelessness and anxiety. My therapist suggested that I bring my partner in to help him understand and handle my depression. When I suggested this my partner flew off the handle. I'm wondering what other people do to protect their partners and their relationships from the hellfire that is the depressed spirit.
