I need help. I was diagnosed with depression about a year ago and have been to counseling as well as tried a few medications. Nothing seems to help and it is impacting my relationships with friends and more severely my relationship with my boyfriend.

There are some days when I feel great. I feel great about my boyfriend and I am social and outgoing. However, when I fall into the pit of depression, everything changes. Everything I thought I knew feels wrong. I don't talk to my friends and I feel strangely towards my boyfriend of ten months.

Let me explain what "strangely" means. I don't want to see or talk to him. I find the things that he says and does annoying and I snap at him easily over stupid stuff. I feel like I don't love him anymore and that I would be better off being alone. I focus on our differences and I think that there are too many and that we are wrong for each other. The whole relationships ends up making me feel anxious.

The thing is....I don't always feel like this toward him. He's an incredible guy. He knows I have depression and he's very supportive. He tries very hard to make me happy even when I'm sometimes very rough on him. Sometimes, our relationship seems to be going very well. But when I get depressed, everything feels wrong and I wonder if it would just be better to break up with him.

I guess I just can't figure out if it's the relationship that's making me depressed or is it the depression that's ruining my relationship. Can depression make you feel like you don't love someone anymore?
