I think that it is very hard for people who have not been depressed to understand. Many don't want to understand, they just want you to return to "normal". But even those who do truly want to understand have a hard time realizing why your world is different than theirs.
I go to a depression support group and there have been a couple of times that a significant other has come with someone. I think that seeing that there are a roomfull of people who are all saying the same thing can be helpful.
It's an uphill battle, but one worth trying.
