I Have Something to Say

If you're dating a female with depression.... She's going to be tired. Constantly. Don't let her stay in bed all day. She's not going to eat. Make her food anyway. She's going to want to cancel plans just to go home and watch Netflix. Take her out dancing anyway. She will look like she's not in the mood to be silly. Try to make her laugh anyway. She's going to want to cry over spilled coffee. Don't make it seem like it's not a big deal or that she's being dramatic. She's going to be happy and sad at the same time, and I know that sounds crazy but it's the truth. She is going to need constant reassurance that she's beautiful. Tell her. She is going to constantly need reassurance that you're not going to leave her. She isn't doubting you or questioning your love, depression comes with anxiety. It comes with no appetite, sleeping 10 hours and waking up tired. It comes with the illusion of standing in a room with hundreds of people and being seen by none of them. It doesn't make sense. It's impossible to understand so imagine how they feel.... Fighting a constant internal battle. So be that support system. Reassure and love hard. Never give up on her.
