Will i fall back in love again?

Posted , 7 users are following.

Hi guys. I have recently fallen into a state of major depression, actually in the past 3 weeks. In these three weeks i've blamed it on my relationship alot, thinking that i have just fallen out of love with my boyfriend of 9 months. I fear that I am staying with him for comfort and not actual love. I think the depression may have something to do with my birth control and the hormonal changes - but i was wondering, has anyone fallen back in love with their significant other after depression? It intensly scares me that I won't feel the same for my boyfriend as i did just three weeks ago... I love him and don't want to lose him. He is perfect and everything I want in a guy.

    Hello. I don't know if there's a right or wrong approach here so just follow your heart really. Do whatever's going to be best for your inner well-being, whatever it may be. Depression's such a bummer.

      P.S. I don't know you'll fall back in love, I'm not sure what love's meant to be anymore, but I wouldn't be surprised if it can happen, yes.

    Hello

    We are all different as is our partners. Sometimes I sit here wondering what happened to me forty years ago when we started living together then marrying. All I remember going on my honeymoon and grasping Her hand all the way down to the South Cost.

    Sometimes if we are depressed we can have mixed feelings towards people we love and this can seem to be more intense as we get older. With my health problems I become very irritated and my mood can become raw. We wonder if things have changed. Then after a time it blows over and we are back together once more.

    I have no idea of your reationship and your negative feelings at this time. Depression can be an impulsive health condition and the clever bit is to understand that and never go to bed annoyed.

    You may find the negativity you are suffering from will clear and if you break up you may regret the breakup later on, I have seen many couples that would strangle eachother in the morning and be back madly in love by teatime.

    Reserve you thoughts for a time we all have little niggly problem when we are depressed.  I try and sit quiet and let the moods change.

    I suffer from Depression and can be very raw with my moods, we both understand that and we move on holding hands once more.

    Good Luck

    Hi kaylin42989 im sure you will feel the same way as you did before. Love is a strange thing but is beutiful when you are in love. Sometimes there can be issues with love its about being able to relax in each others company and give it a whille the spark can come back. I hope your depression improves. With the right support i feel it will come back your love for your boyfriend. You may be finding yourself again and it can get confusing thoughts, emotions. I hope some of what i have written makes some sort of sense im new to all this. I wish you well kayln42989

    Hi Kaylin,

    I am curious, why do you feel like you don't love him? Do you just not feel the same intensity as before? Something I ran into with my ex whom I was with for 4.5 years is I wasn't sure if I loved her or not. She was my first relationship so I was kind of walking in the dark.

    After some time now and dating another I can say without question I was madly in love with her. In the end, it caused me to delay getting engaged and ended up killing our relationship. She married someone else now and I have carried a large amount of regret since. I now suffer from depression and anxiety daily, when I used to be a very happy confident person before. I also am now dating someone else who I have been having a similar issue as you except and I'm wondering if my feelings would ever grow for her, I had hoped they would. I don't feel the same way about her as I did my ex.

    Is he your first relationship or have you felt more strongly for others in the past?

      Hi Matt, I guess the "honeymoon" phase has worn off, and for obvious reasons, i wasn't prepared. I have bad anxiety, and although my depression is better, one day i looked at my boyfriend and legit said "i don't think i love you anymore" (i guess i was trying to figure out why i was depressed). Well that thought has obviously stuck in my head day in and day out, because I don't want to lose what was such a beautiful relationship. Up to the point where i can hardly be with him without feeling so achingly disconnected. I constantly think about our relationship and it's quite troubling, as i want the "feeling" to come back so very badly. sad 

      To be fair, i did love my boyfriend before all of this, and I knew that up until the day that i "questioned" it. I've never loved someone more, no. But it sucks because it's really making me question things rolleyes

    With depression for me its about establishing your thoughts your feelings..emotions and then you start to remember when you was happy. Sometimes we need a little patience and will to get through depression. With true love. I will stop there what is true love? For me if your in a relationship obviously you need chemistry... that spark its a beutiful feeling. Thats my outlook on how it should be. I may be wrong but i am a deep person.
