husband seems to think I over react. But, in fact, my reaction is normal and would be for most people. I'm just a tender-hearted person. Why does he think I'm over reacting?

Answer:

Your husband thinks you over react because he's not the one suffering from depression and isn't that always the way?!Men tend to think that just because we as women are thou rough and sometimes emotional we are over reacting well sometimes i want to over react just to get some reaction out my partner so don;t fret you are probably a sweety and hey he should thank you it's better than being a B##%$ right?N/e ways i understand depression and you can't be expected to always have a hold on it even if you are taking med's it is actually pretty serious and can effect every aspect of your life so I'm with yah you have the right and it probably suits the situation. good luck

he may does not understand how depression affects the body. try a book talking about depression, that may help him understand what you go through.

I do not think anyone could over react to any given situation.

The way a person reacts is their own way of showing their emotions.

Some people cry at weddings,and some people smile at weddings. I think most men always think some women over react. I feel like some men want to be cool,macho,brave ETC. Men are humans and have reactions too.Most men just hide their emotons.

Maybe because you don't talk enough, and he's used to seeing you in a depressed mode? Sounds like you need more communication.
