I am not gonna lie, I am an extremely sensitive person. I cry almost everyday and lately as I have been growing into adulthood, getting a full time job and having responsibilities, this has increased exponentially. I used to do things that made me happy, used to have energy and laugh all the time. Now, I feel like I’m upset everyday. I work 11 hour shifts and whenever I’m home or off i’m just exhausted and rot in bed. Whenever I express any feelings of sadness to my girlfriend even if not relating to her or our relationship it feels as if she is upset. She starts by trying to cheer me up saying my life is great and that it will pass and it will get better. But when she sees i’m genuinely sad and it persist it feels like she gets upset. She starts being distanced and telling me I’m not depressed and that I always just get sad too quickly. It feels bad to not feel comfortable telling ur partner your feelings. It feels like she wants me when I’m goofy and happy but the moment I’m not she pushes me away. Am I in the wrong? Are we supposed to keep our sad feeling to ourselves? Am I being selfish? Please give me some clarity
