relationships are difficult for people with depression,i expect too much off myself and others ,i am scared i'll get rejected ,the low self esteem makes me think i'll not maintain one.my withdrawl is difficult to deal with .my 27 year marriage ended 2 years ago ,my ex wife left me ,her family ,job, to live in another country with her lover,i'm kidding myself i'm over that. the book 'depression fallout 'covers a lot of issues about being with someone who is depressed,i long for a close loving relationship but then i have to face that i may also lose it.the best relationship i can have is with myself ,not in a selfish way ,but a loving way .relationships are difficult for people without depression how much harder are they when you have it? i live in hope that i will eventually find one
