Tina, just because you've ordered doesn't mean you can't read the menu! seriously, if you theorize a bit about the social stuff instead of feeling it - would that help?
About a DH not understanding ... is yours at all motivated to learn more? Mine understood nothing at all in the beginning ... and with time he started dx-ing his own clients (he's a lawyer) - his understanding of depression improved his connection with certain clients who were out of work for injuries.
Mine still doesn't 'get' it, in a lot of ways ... he's suffered low-grade depression himself in the past year, situation-based. Not the same as clinical. But this makes it harder for him to be there for me.
sorry, I'm rambling. I also feel desperately lonely much of the time.
