For those of you close relationships, do you become emotionally distant with your partner when in depression or dealing with other symptoms/fall out from bipolar? Or are you open about what is going on?

I have a tendency to withdrawal and be really distant with people when I'm dealing with stuff. This in turn makes them think I'm upset with them. Then I get incredibly anxious when they ask me what's wrong and just shut down to where I can't speak.

Didn't know if others went through this or had any input.
