I wish I had someone I could talk to when I am feeling down.
I have mostly male friends, and they can never understand what it’s like to be a female and have hormonal depression. Robert tries to listen, but he’s a also guy and usually it’s “it’ll be ok” instead of trying to really understand the issue. Also, when it’s an issue I have that concerns him (in any fashion) he just glosses over the fact that I have said anything. I mean, literally changes the subject or says nothing, instead of addressing the issue at hand. I guess I should be thankful there are no REAL issues there…
I do have a few female friends, but none that I feel would be there for me, completely. I have tried that in the past (more than once) and been shown that women are generally selfish and if it suits their agenda, they will reveal your private conversations to others with no remorse.
So what do you do? Just hold it in and wait for it to pass, post it somewhere in a private journal to get it out, or just smile and pretend everything is fine… I’m not sure anymore… but if anyone has suggestions… I am open to try them.
