      🤔 one of my relationships functionally ended when, while I was in a fairly bleak state and practically begging for a phone call, my SO suggested I put some time on her calendar the following week I think there's a good way to communicate overwhelmedness but this seems not ithttps://twitter.com/fyeahmfabello/status/1196581296564256768 …

      My partner has suffered with some bad depressive episodes, and let's just say I've not always lived up to her or my own expectations of myself in supporting her. The reality was that if I wanted to be her partner, I would have to be better at this, this wasn't an option.

      That's not to say that we don't respect each others boundaries, or that it's easy. In the worst cases it has been very hard. I could not have taken this approach with her because, undoubtedly, she needed me more than I needed my "own time" or "own space".

      That being said, the post is a bit different than this situation. Often if I have problems and need to chat, I'll send a message to a friend asking if they have some time. This is if I want to have a conversation, and it's mostly about whether it's a convenient time.

      But sometimes, if it's something important I'll just send my thoughts ahead of time and let them respond whenever. I think the core principle is that, I wouldn't expect someone to be thinking about me necessarily if they really needed to talk, because it's not about me.

      I don't know if I'm saying anything meaningful here, I'm not very good at writing tweets, but every now and then I decide to give it a go.

      No it's good! This is a hard thing to explicate even without trying to convey the internal dynamics of a relationship.
