I was just wondering what experiences people have had with intimate loved ones and depression.

I know I hurt my bf without meaning to. He understands that I'm not trying to hurt him... but he's been there at my very worst times. Even just seeing me so far down is no good. I have so little control when I'm down...I hate to hurt him... but I often do it anyways when I'm depressed.

So I guess I'm just asking what people have experienced... what people have learned...
