My fella really really doesn't get it. He has had depression brought on by stress but after 3 months on meds he kicked it, so it is very hard for him to understand.

So he doesn't try, he just knows this is me, and this is what you get.
He keeps all my appointments, remembers when my script needs,refilled and yeah he sometimes says "have you taken your meds."
Because he knows what would happen if I didn't.
And I would rather he asked me and I not have forgotten, than forget and him not ask.

And it bugs the he'll out of me cos he will sometimes say "oh...you must be due on ?" And you know what...he is 9/10 right. Because he can see my tics and behaviours changing before I ever notice them.

So I realise for me, understanding isn't important so long as he is happy to take me as he finds me.
And he is. But I know it's not the same for everyone.
