Been dealing with my spouses depression for years. I love them but i’m running out of compassion for it. I’m exhausted. I always have to put my feelings in the background. They don’t do anything to get better but then complain bb about having no help. They make steps but it isn’t instant and they stop. I feel like an unpaid therapist who can’t clock out. I can’t even tell them or set boundary about it because then they’ll clam up and say they have no one to talk to or who understands them. But I’m exhausted and running to the point where I just don’t even care any more. It’s like I have to deal with the radio station playing their depression and I have to sit in the misery with her. I want to just scream to shut up but then that would ruin our trust
