My boyfriend suffers with depression - I feel at a loss right now.
Good morning people.
I have so many questions running through my head about the situation that I am in, that I am really not sure where to begin.
Can I start by asking if there are other people who are partners of people who suffer with clinical depression and/or ADD?
Again - I have so many questions, and am not sure where to start - but maybe if someone is in a similar situation, we can compare notes, and maybe relate a bit.
My boyfriend suffers from depression and there are so many issues that come with this, that I feel overwhelmed sometimes. I have been in contact with a counselling organization who provide therapy and counselling to people who are with people who suffer depression, but I might not even get a call for another few months for an appointment.
We deal with motivation issues, work issues, money issues, issues with friends and with other people as well. There are things that he does that I wonder are... I don't know - more normal for people who suffer? Its hard to know how to put it as well - but so many problems are happening and I just want to be able to try and get a handle on it.
For the record, I am in love with the man, and I am committed to joining him in making our lives better - but there are some things he cannot help me with... or even understand, because he is going through so much of his own stuff right now.
If I can be more specific with things, please let me know... hopefully this is a starting block.
Take care !
