someone to talk to please

Posted , 3 users are following.

I've been with my partner for three years and for the past ten months or so she's been very depressed, I'm hoping to find someone who is in the same position as me so I can talk to them and see if they have any advice to help make this easier for me, I've tried everything to make her happy but I just feel so lonely, thank you for taking the time to read this.

    You sound like a caring boyfriend.

    But, the first thing to ask yourself...is she happy in the relationship.

    I know years ago...I became depressed when I didn't want my relationship anymore..but didn't want to hurt his feelings...it was ME not HIM.

    I just decided I didn't want a relationship.

    If it is not  your relationship...can you guys pinpoint what she IS UNHAPPY about?

    I feel depression always stems from something...some condition or situation.  I have had depression for many years for many different reasons...I have learned for myself...it always has to do with SOMETHING.

    What happened ten months ago? Did she start any new medication? Does she exercise..? Get her a vitamin D suppliment and follow the bottles instructions. Low vitamin d can trigger depression. She needs too see her doctor and tell him whats going on as well. I understand you are feeling lonely and if you are choosing to be in a commitment with her you probably will need at some point to get some guidance and maybe accompany her to a therapist. How old are you both? You cant make her happy but you can help her to get professional help so she can help herself. She needs a good friend now because depression is a dark place and makes a person feel terrible and very doscouraged overall. Good luck. The onky three people i knew who were cljncally depressed were given medication for it

    Whilst it is possible that some people become disilussion and unhappy in relationships often when someone becomes depressed the first thing they do is push their loved ones away often to avoid hurting them and making their lives miserable.  However, many are due to untreated depression, I lost my husband to untreated Depression, initially he said he could not do us anymore or relationships with anyone, he has since gone on to a relationship with an alcoholic woman.  Check out the Depression Fallout Forum where you will see thousands of people in the same position as you find yourself.
