Hello everyone, I'm new to this group chat and I've been in a state of depression for quite some time now. I've recently opened up some past wounds to get closure and have been doing a lot of thinking. I feel like I got into this relationship for all the wrong reasons but I'm not sure if thats the depression talking or me. When you're in love with someone and you get depression is it normal to question your relationship or is your relationship the one thing you trust when you know they're the one? I'm not sure anymore if he is but I also don't know if its the depression talking. Thank you in advance for any advice, it means a lot.

Hi everyone, what do you think about Artiva29's question? Does your depression ever make you question your relationships? If so, how do you deal with it? How do you know when it's your depression talking or when it's how you really feel?

All the time I often feel like I end up pushing the one I love away . Right now a friend is struggling and I cant help him and in this I overthink thinking he stopped talking because I cared to much . I reccomend asking the one you love if it bothers them a true lover will except the fact you are struggling and ask how to help .
I struggle with depression for years as well and there are times that I question myself if I am making the right decision about talking to someone that wants to control everything I do

Absolutely, I have had a lot of dishonest and abusive relationships so I am sure that makes me question them even more. Which I hate because I feel it pushes people away.
I’m going through the same thing and I feel I’m pushing him away which is depressing me even more I really hate this.
I have been more and more depressed lately. But my fiance of 12 years knows my struggles. He makes sure I don't decide to isolate myself. I did it once. I didn't leave my room except to shower and use the restroom. I didn't talk to anyone. I shut everyone out. But then my great grandson was born and I had been looking forward to seeing him come in to this world. So I managed with a bit of encouragement to pull myself up. I am still depressed but not that bad now.
