I want to keep this as short and sweet as humanly possible. My boyfriend suffers from depression and it’s been really bad the last 3 years. Lately, due to some life changes he has been getting better but still has episodes. I’m just wondering if anyone has any advice for me? I love him with all my heart and I’d never leave him to deal with this on his own but it’s really hard for me too and he has me but I have no one. No one else that would understand anyways. I just feel really alone some times. He makes me feel like everything I do is always wrong no matter how well intentioned the action is when he’s depressed it’s always the worst thing I could have done. I know that’s just the depresssion talking and When he’s not feeling depressed like before 3 years ago and recently we’ve been having times that feel just like normal times and they’re so good and so happy and during the good times I’m 1 billion % sure he is my soul mate. When times are bad they’re really bad and it just hurts to see someone you love go through that. I know what he’s feeling is worse than what I’m feeling so I try not to make it about myself but sometimes I really need someone to pick me up too and it’s really hard to know the right thing to do or say all the time but if I came home and he’s having a bad day I’d drop everything to try to cater to his needs and I get emotionally drained and we spend our whole night talking it out and all of life’s responsibilities get pushed back and it’s just getting hard after 3 years and it’s getting harder when you think he’s making progress because it makes the bad days feel like he’s slipping all over again. I don’t need anything other than advice on how to deal with the bad days because I know how the internet is and I won’t be leaving him I’ll be with him until we beat this thing even if it takes another 30 years because I love him and he’s worth it I just need ways to better take care of myself so I can be better for him when he needs me. Thanks.
