I didn't say that either. Both are rules for a significant other's behavior while in a relationship, neither are boundary issues.

When I (Diagnosed type 2) went on metformin, I lost 30lbs in 3 months.
I also have been diagnosed with Hashimoto's (an auto-immune disease that basically causes your both to make antibodies that go have thyroid hormones) but my doc insists the levels are fine but will recheck often since my siblings are both on sythnroids and it's improved their lives/energy levels immensely.

>Boundaries are behaviors that involve her
No you're right, you never said that.
Since you swear it's different, please explain how looking at scantily clad women in a sexual manner doesn't involve her, but cheating does.

I'm pretty sure my doc isn't a quack...
-------
"Since the introduction of levothyroxine, some patients have anecdotally reported much better symptom relief and management of their hypothyroidism by taking NDT vs. levothyroxine. The likely reason? NDT contains natural forms of both T4 and T3 hormones."
"More recently, research has shown that a subset of the population has a genetic defect that impairs the ability to convert T4 into T3. Many of these patients report far better symptom relief and quality of life taking NDT because it includes T3 and doesn't rely solely on conversion."
"One reason given by some doctors for their reluctance to prescribe NDT is the fact that NDT drugs are not "FDA-approved." This statement is misleading. NDT was available by prescription long before the Food and Drug Administration came into existence. These drugs were "grandfathered in" by the FDA and were never required to go through the formal FDA approval process. They are, however, carefully regulated by the FDA."
"There is no strong evidence to suggest Armour Thyroid or a combination therapy of synthetic T4 and T3 produce better results than Synthroid in most people."

I found quite a few articles with the above info. My doctor has a medical degree, and I don't. So even though I know there are other articles that have different info, I trust her more than the Internet.
Seems like the Internet is divided straight down the middle for this argument. As long as I'm taking the medicine properly, there is no risk to my health. If you like dark chocolate, and I like milk chocolate, one of doesn't have to be wrong. We can both have our own opinions.

That’s what the quacks prescribe. You probably want to find a new doctor.
Metformin is standard of care, though, so it’s good to see that.

I think you have a funny way of defining "respecting boundaries" if you're incapable of remembering them.

Advice for the future: When you're writing an email while angry, save it in draft form. Go ahead and write it as angry as you want in the first draft, just don't send! Read later, at least a couple of hours, next day if possible. More often than not, you'll have calmed down and be able to take the edge off and send a professional correspondence. Obviously too late for that in this situation but it can help you in the future.
I won't offer any advice on mental health, as I'm not equipped to do so. I will say I've had similar disputes with co-workers in a few different offices. Of course, we always feel like we're being wronged and our co-workers are the problem, but after having issues like this in several different settings I had to acknowledge that I was at least PART of the problem. It's something I've only learned over time, but now over halfway through my career, I've learned how to handle conflict properly and not let it get personal. Try and see things from others perspectives and realize that not all conflicts can be solved. Learn which conflicts are worth engaging in and which ones are better off ignoring.
Good luck!

"Forgetting boundaries" is not something you wanna be using in a sentence, man. I have a shitty memory too. Doesn't mean I conveniently "forget" anything my husband is specifically and validly uncomfortable about.

I definitely got that you had been diagnosed with some type of depressive disorder, that's why I was pointing out the need to balance the whole taking responsibility thing with the acknowledgement of what you're doing right - like I said, give yourself credit where credit is due. That part is much harder for someone in your situation, so I know, easier said than done. 🖤 As for the NHS and how it works over there, again, I have no idea, as I am in the US (AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED on the lack of resources over here... I've worked in the mental health field for years over here and it's... ugh.), but please don't give up on yourself! It's worth fighting to get the help you need!

me and my lady look at butts together, but only briefly, because staring is rude.

Ive experienced plenty of relationships over the years. The relationships where looking at the opposite sex was a problem never wound up being worth the hassle in the end. These types of insecurities only get worse as time goes on. Whether or not you choose to listen to these words doesnt matter to me, you will learn in time.
