Do you think you can be depressed and in a relationship at the same time?

Im with a decent, nice person. Feels like i just cant do it. I cant express myself to anyone because at this point i just feel fed up with the kind of negstive person that i am. I'm tired and I cant believe Im going to lose a person I care about over feeling constantly like shit.
Nothing works, everything is a waste of time, meds get you addicted and once you re off them you get terrible withdrawal symptoms. Damn there s no point to anything.

In the right relationship your partner can offer you amazing support. I assure you that if they care, they will accept the ups and downs you go through. Maybe have an honest chat with your partner to say how your feeling and see what he says

@GLITTER I cant have an honest chat. I d rather kill myself than have someone know something so personal about me. Its like Im diminishing myself as a person in front of him if i say what I feel. Im just tired, guess from your answer I can realize I shouldnt be in a relationship. Thanks for the insight, it helped.

@Ratatouillesque that’s okay, sorry that was the outcome but you defo have to look after yourself. Please don’t be afraid to share things about yourself though. Sometimes talking can relieve so much stress. It’s not good to think about things alone. The mind can be poisonous sometimes. Trust me, I’m the worst for it 🙂

Yes.
Although if both you and the other person have depression it can be difficult when depression hits you both at the same time.

If this person cares, this person will understand and will know that the depression isn't you.

You need to take control of yourself and force your mind to look outwards. Force it to be positive even though it is hard most of the times.
Remember Hellen Keller
“ Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.”

@xbandoleerx Just dreading it.

Yes. The relationship doesn’t have to be the cause. But it can be a casualty.
GLITTER · 36-40, F
@Ceinwyn I love that

You're young. If you don't like the relationship you're in. Get out. You may be better off single.

I know this probably won’t help but you’re incredibly lucky to have been born female.

I am depressed and I have a supportive partner. Whilst yes things can sometimes be difficult. (But isn't any relationship without depression)

@Ratatouillesque I do the same. Its important my partner knows to give me space. We can't help our ailments. Dont feel bad about it. My depression makes me who I am. Sometimes it's the only time I feel

It is worthwhile... But first you need to get yourself in order... And I don't think I'm trying you anything you don't already know ...
Very much so. Especially when you think you should feel happy and you're not, that's the worst.

I am now and have been but dont know how to fix it. Everything I've tried doesn't work.
