Depression and relationships: Does your depression make you question your relationships?

@Artiva29 Hi Artiva29, thank you for sharing what you're going through with us. Let me tag some other members so they can weigh in.

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.  

I'm having the same issue which is why I am here. I suffer from depression and anxiety.  I quit all my medications a year ago. Thought it was the right thing to do cause i was on so many and with those and seroquel at night i couldn't function right to even work.....have to have money to survive..i also just recently got married in January.. I'm questioning so much and find myself lately either really frustrated to the point i feel like I'm going to explode ,depressed or either the anxiety sets in and I'm on what feels like I'm an isolated overthinking suffocating ball. I'm thinking of calling my doctor to see about a referal back to a mental health place but i haven't shared this with my husband although he knows something aint right but i dont want him to look at me as a failure or a physco case especially cause i left the medications alone ...anyways all this is affecting my relationship and me
