Before I became depressed (about three months ago) I was very much in love with my boyfriend. Since falling into a depression, I find myself focusing more on his faults. I don't often feel like having sex. At times I can't even stand being touched or breathed on. I know I'm not myself and therefore not much fun to be around, and yet he still wants to be with me most every night. I feel guilty that I can't behave the way I did when I was well. Part of me is also afraid that my feelings for him won't return when I am well again.

Can anyone relate to this predicament? How has it been for you?

Thanks xx

Hello Livingwithlaura. Having dpression effects every part of our lives and that does include our relationships. Talking to him about how you feel might help as he does sound a very understanding guy. It is hard on him too as the parttner feels helpless as they cant do anything of benefit. Best wishes to you.
