My fiance and I had a conversation earlier about how he views his depression. He said he's accepted that he has depression and now he feels like he's stabilized. He doesn't feel like anything will ever make him feel better. He's tried therapy before. His medication had been working though he stopped taking it which lead us here. He won't take it again because he says he just doesn't care. He's tried caring and fighting and it didn't work he says. He believes there will be a day when I grow to hate him. Right now, he says I'm in denial. He said he would have never been strong enough to deal with what I have with him and calls me out of his league, undeserving of my love and devotion. He thinks I need to accept that he is just a horrible person as he has done. He says he doesn't have anything to offer to anyone and that he's so focused on his internal struggle that he loses sight of what I need. I understand that he needs to focus on himself but that was with the understanding that he was doing it to get well. I don't understand how just a few weeks ago he went from talking about a fall trip to Disneyland with me and his son to giving up and not caring about anything. Can anyone help?
