Yes but then again No Been with my wife for over 20 years but my Dep. ( Bipolar ) Didnt get very bad till my mid 30's so bad my wife couldnt handle it .I know it was hard for her to watch me in that much pain she kind of pushed me away that were my girlfreind came in .I became friends with her at the groups I was going to for bipolar. At frist the 3 of all got along .I was very Dep. so having someone who knew where I was coming from was a great help .Things did get out of hand and its a long storie . But You should try to meet someone with the same dep. if not as a boyfriend then as a friend .They can tell by the look in your face that all you need is a hug to help you hang on just one more day .Normal people seem to just wont to ***** at you .
