Dating someone with depression is hard!
I was talking to this guy for a while and he was dealing with crippling depression, he wasn’t seeing a therapist even though I encouraged him to go but he never did.
I am a normal person and dealing with all of his emotions was very draining and I don’t wish that on anyone. At first I was willing to listen because I was also dealing with depression and I thought I was equipped to help him but boy was I wrong! Our emotions were not the same! And he made me feel even worse at times I would hang up the phone just to cry because I felt what he was telling me to my core. I couldn’t deal with his situation even though I wanted the best for him, I wanted him to be happy and I wanted to really start something serious with him but I realized I couldn’t help him ! And I wasn’t attracted to his sadness at all!
I would still check on him here and there but I couldn’t be a part of his life. I needed to be there for myself first before I can even be there for someone. I don’t mind if my man is sad once in a while but you’re sad everyday!? Uhm no! Because when I’m happy I have to bring down my emotions because of you. I love happy people because that’s what I aspire to be! When I am dating someone I would want for that person to be happy and bubbly, not too extroverted but enough to get me out of the house.
