When I vent, I tell both sides. I never just tell my side cause | always wanna know if I'm tripping or not. I'm not venting for you to be on my side. I'm venting for another point of view.
You don’t need a perfect partner. You need someone who can regulate their emotions, admit when they fuck up, & actually sit with uncomfortable conversations without shutting down, flipping it on you, or throwing low blows every time shit gets real.
People think depression means your sad and crying all the time. Depression for me is being stuck in a twilight zone. i can't think , i don't respond to things , nothing is interesting , i just feel empty. not sad , just blank. I have a lot of days like this and they are hard .
The funny thing is when you find that mature partner and the relationship is healthy, you start to see everything wrong with you. The good part is you become intentional about working on your flaws, because you know the last thing you want is to lose them.
