Relationships & Depression
When you’re depressed you feel lonely and good friends are highly recommended to help and provide you support.
But when you’re depressed you also feel the “need” to be with someone in a sexual relationship, because many times that makes you feel better. This is what you MUST know in those cases.
It is really hard for a non-depressed person to be with a depressed person, as they usually do NOT understand what is going on inside your head and why you are acting (or not acting) the way you are. It’s the reason why it is so difficult for the relationship to survive and if it doesn’t you will most likely feel even worse than you were before.
The depression will also change who and how you are and that way the person that you are with when depressed may not be the same person that you’d like to be with once you “snap” out of it. This could be because you saw that person differently when you were depressed or simply because YOU are different now and that person is still the same.
Having depressed friends may not be a bad idea as they will understand you better when you are having a “troubled” day, but having a sexual relationship with another depressed person is NOT a good idea.
Whenever you are involved with another depressed person you are always worried about the other person getting worse if something goes wrong, you will both be altered which may result on more misunderstanding, more fights and MORE depression. Even if you of you get better you are NOT the same as you were before when depressed.
So, even though a good relationship might help you get on your feet faster watch who you are with as it may not be a good idea to either one of you if you are both depressed. When depressed what you need is support, not someone to bring you down even more.
