I always wonder, will she be in love with me again once she's no longer suffering from depression ?
I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety yesterday.
But I got to say, I'm not incapable of loving someone. Depression does make things in life very difficult, but she will love you with or without depression. Depression won't make you not love things, it just make it difficult to enjoy things. People fall in and out of love all the time.
Don't think too much about it now, not until she over comes her depression. Relationship problems can make it worse, and a lot more stressful for her.
I hear what you're saying but I can't help but think about it ever day. We were in a healthy happy relationship, building our future and just as an unfortunate depressive episode approached she became distant and eventually left. That's a painful heartbreak to experience, even painful once they leave and you can't help. You feel abandoned and helpless. I know she loves me. But I know since her depression rekindled she's fallen out of love romantically with me. Which is not uncommon for those suffering with the depression. It is a mood disorder. Changes a lot of things. That's why my question still stands, if she was mentally healthy, would she still be in love with me? Very plausible question. A question I wouldn't dare ask her obviously.
I understand what you mean by feeling abandoned by someone who has depression. All you want to do is help, but you don't know how. If you believe she loves you, and you want to build your future once she's better, then just support her. She is going to need close friends and family to help her through this. She may not show many emotions towards you, but that's part of depression. Just stay by her side, and let her know someone DOES love her, and always will be there for her. c:
My fiancee struggled with depression and also distances herself from me. I have patience and we communicate. It helps to ask if there is anything you can do to keep the relationship strong even when she is having her off days. It may just be something small but as her how she feels and what she needs from you.
