I have low levels of empathy and general emotional output. Some people call me a sociopath, I’m not. Some people just can’t understand that there are varying degrees of something.

My friend neglected to mention they have depression that manifests in severe mood swings and hyper-emotional states before moving in and I don’t know what to do.

She has medication for so many things I’m not even sure if she’s supposed to be taking them together.

I explained my condition to her, to make sure she understood I wasn’t just being flippant and cold.

Most of the time I just cannot physically relate to what she is feeling, and can only offer logical answers. She says she understands, but I can’t accept that when every other look is one of hurt. It’s clear she thinks it’s something I choose to do, commenting ‘It’s not a real condition, mine is a real condition.’

Excuse me?

All I hear day after day is how she’ll never be happy and has no opinions of her own, and then she goes off on a rant about something or other. I just want to yell at her that no, she damn well won’t be if she keeps at that every moment of every day. People learn to live with their conditions, not hide behind them.

I don’t like sounding so insensitive but I just DON’T CARE. She’s been given a lot in her life lately and instead of trying to use that to better herself she complains about it, even in up moods. Especially in up moods. It disgusts me to the point where I can’t even look at her as she airily comments she hasn’t taken her pills the past few days.

I just don’t f-cking care. Go cry at someone else’s side, I’ll give you advice, but I’m not a magician, and if you can’t help yourself then what am I to do?
