Dealing with my depression has been incredibly difficult, especially when it starts affecting my relationship. Sometimes I feel like a burden to my partner, and it’s hard to believe that they truly want to be with me. But I’ve been trying to remind myself that I deserve love and support, even when I’m struggling. It’s been a process of open communication and finding healthy coping mechanisms. I’ve also sought therapy, which has been a huge help. I know I still have a long way to go, but I’m hopeful that with time and effort, I can manage my depression and maintain a healthy relationship. It’s not easy, but I believe it’s worth it.
