Hi ! I have to agree with "beautifuldisaster." Depression usually isn't over just one thing -- it's about everything in one's life. There's not one particular thing that you can put your finger on that's causing the depression.

May I ask why you stay with this guy? Obviously he's not meeting your needs -- and he seems to be pretty selfish too. You DESERVE better than this, dearheart. A "relationship" is supposed to be a partnership -- where both parties put in an equal (hopefully) amount of "work" in the relationship. It seems that you're doing all the giving and he's just taking. Whether it's because of his mental illness, I don't know --- but he USED to be more giving than this, correct?

I think I'd think seriously about ending this relationship and getting "back out" there --- and look for someone who will treat you as you deserve to be treated. Chances are your depression will lift -- and life will seem great again.

God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee
