<human>: Okay, so BF and I have been dating for about a year and a half, we have had our normal ups and downs but this seems to be a recurring issue. 

We have always had issues communicating because we come from very different backgrounds- mine an emotional and abusive one, and his a very religious and private one, however we have been working on it and doing much better. However,a few days ago I noticed a pattern; every once in awhile my depression hits a little harder(I have also been diagnosed BPD, but that may have been overzealous doctors) and everyday life becomes that much more unbearable. Whenever I try to talk about my depression and anxiety in social situations he dismisses me claiming he just doesn't understand why I feel this way. 

This brings me to yesterday; I was talking to him about the possibility of me looking for a new job because I do not enjoy my current job (which would not be a big deal in and of itself) and I do not "click" with any of my co-workers which leads to me often getting the short end of the straw at work. He was quick to dismiss my reasons and say that I was just whining. To be clear, I would not be taking a pay cut, I would not quit until I had another job lined up, and my job is not even a "real"- it is a near minimum wage kind of deal.

While I can understand his point of view (he tends to keep things to himself and claims to have no mental health issues) I feel he belittled me unfairly and refuses to view any of my arguments as worthy because he has never experienced depression or crippling social anxiety. 

So my question is- am I over reacting or does this seem like it could be an actual issue? And secondly, what can I do about it?

Summarize the given text in a few sentences.
<bot>: I have depression and my boyfriend doesn't think my arguments for my getting a new job hold any credence because of this.
