How is depression impacting your relationship?


4 years ago (Edited 4 years ago) 0 2 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0

I’m on here today because I feel out of control. I feel so lost in my marriage, I’m having a very hard time trying to be the supportive and fun loving wife that I used to be to my wife. I’ve become insecure and somewhat controlling because our connection is gone and when I communicate that to her I feel she just doesn’t understand where I’m coming from. She just says things to make me happy but then that causes issues because she doesn’t follow through on what she says.

My head keeps asking, after 17 years how did we end up this way? I’ve talked to her so much about this that I feel I’m loosing my mind. I feel so sad and empty.

I"m new here as of today, not really sure if i"m depressed or just partially. I"m here to find out if I can find out if my relationship is salvageable? My girlfriend (or ex) , is the best thing that has happened to me in a long time. I just want things to be where we started. The best part is we still talk everyday.I know that is what got me here. Just looking for the help I need. Thanks

Hi everyone,

Depression can make a big impact on all our relationships. We can be more irritable, appear more lethargic and disinterested. We also may want to isolate from other people. Depression itself can effect our sex drives but also, many antidepressants effect our sex drives too! It can be really hard to manage healthy relationships with depression - but it is not impossible.

To get the conversation started, how is depression impacting your relationship(s).
