I wish my gf would try to support me in this way even in the examples shown as bad. She doesn't even acknowledge it at all. The good news is that its forced me to be a lot stronger than I was. But the bad news is when I have an episode it can be extremely painful because I don't feel like I have her support. She won't even check up on me at all. And because I'm more vulnerable that cuts real deep.
It's created a strong shame in me because I am a man, and I guess I need to be stronger. This shame makes me try to hide my episodes because I feel like she might see me as weak. Although she's never said that.
But I have no one to blame but myself for sticking around. Unfortunately I've fallen deeply in love with her, so I keep myself in this relationship. She's not a bad person, quite the opposite, but she just doesn't understand depression because of her culture.

I just wish I could take it away from her. She's too talented and sweet and kind to be cursed with depression. I'd much rather have it instead of her. I'm not very good at handling her depression, sometimes I get frustrated. And I know it's not her fault. She's been going through an extra hard time lately. She lost her job that's she's been at for years. Her grandmother passed away not too long ago. Her unemployment has denied her and now wants all the money they gave her back. I just don't know what to do. I find myself stressing out at work or getting mini panic attacks because I don't know what to do. I'm looking to replace my job so that she doesn't have to work. Even if it's something I know I won't like I need her to work on herself. She needs some more time off. I just wish I could be better at this

My girlfriend suffers from depression and i have suffered from it for 11 years before, im trying my hardest to make her feel special and let her know how much i love her every second we have together, one very sad thing is that our relationship is long distance atm, but that wont change my feelings, ever, she is my everything and i seem to be hers as well, it is furstraiting sometimes, that i cannot hug her or kiss her, and i dont know what to do when she feels really sad, i give her some time to calm down, then talk to her to make sure she will feel better at the end of the night, then spend my time in a call with her until she is ready to fall asleep, are there any better ways to do things? i really want to do more for her, but were both stuck in the countries we live in for now

I did those 7 things all the time but at some point I would make a mistake and cause a fight. The fight entail back to blaming herself and suddenly blaming you for not being there. In the end, they always say that its their feeling and its them needed fixing and the moment I made a mistake and apologize. She wouldn't even accept it and would try to break our relationship. Idk man I need help on this. Saying things like they are last of your priorities and all when you already made plans and did long term things for the relationship. Idk its a little frustrating sometimes. I understand that its a misunderstanding. Its normal but those words still really hurts. Its like telling you that everything you have done for her was nothing for just one mistake.

Its really weird when watching this video, The wording and points within this video is exactly the same as the way my girlfriend speaks to me so this hit me hard, Shes never had a good experience with any relationship before I came along, so she finds relationships terrifying but I know that shes ultimately trying her best and thats what matters most to me, shes going through a really rough mental time at the moment and its really getting to her I can just tell. Shes not very good at being vulnerable and telling me how shes feeling so to watch this video really brings a tear to my eye as I know that everything said in this video is exactly what she wants to tell me, Thank you Psych2Go!

What can be done when nothing seems to help? Even when trying to encourage them and say that the bad feelings will go away and remind of the happy memories sometimes they still feel like no, everything was a painfull experience and they never end, even with all the help i seem to make it worse most of the times while trying to make them go through a depressive episode. I get scarred that me not being able to help in those situations will make me responsible for breaking up because i couldnt offer the comfort and calm them down

I wish that everyone gets well-Let life heals by experiencing that facing problems and being pragmatic is the only way to live healthy wealthy and wise, not entraining another one in your mess. Am sorry but we only live once and everyone is wiser enough to choose wether to face problems and resolve them, ( if they exist of course and are not just an imagination ) or being a weak creature in an imperfect world ruled by the laws of strength and power- we see this even in nature.

Thank you for making these videos, I have a suicidal girlfriend and sometimes I feel like Im not enough like I cant help her. I always feel bad mentally because of how shes feeling, I felt the same way once to, and even though I should know for sure that theres hope sometimes I forget that but videos like this help remember that theres hope. So thank you, I doubt youll see this but videos like these help so many people.

Eventually I would tell my ex-gfs about having depression. I felt like the deserved an explanation for my apparent loss of interest and effort in the relationship. They still take it personally even though it wasnt about them. They werent doing anything wrong. They tell me they tried to understand but in the end they never really do. Next time Ill refer her to psych to goor Ill just start dating depressed girls

Left my bf weeks ago because he didn't understand and support me during the hard time I am going through.
Told me I am pretending, selfish, lazy, didn't want me to take my medication because.
I live in Africa and our beliefs and culture play a role in the way we consider and handle mental illness.
I am taking time to heal myself even if it's in loneliness.

my girlfriend (or my ex) is dealing with depression, she pushes me away for maybe 2 or 3 weeks and I am trying my best to be beside her but she refuses every time. she wants us to be only friends and not to talk everyday and I am okay with that but suddenly she texted me that she is not happy while I am around and then she blocked me. what should I do now?

My girlfriend if five years is someone who deals with depression and anxiety.
It's been a challenge oftentimes.
Thankfully I got her to get on meds because the religion she was under for a while didn't believe in depression.
She's doing better but she still has her moments where it's tough for the both of us.

I won't let my baby down. I will be there for her always. I know she is suffering from depression and she doesn't want to hurt me. She can't handle both. I want to keep her safe and take care of her. Is there any idea to make her feel better and release her from the depression? Please let me know if anyone knows.

Life Hack! The most important rule is If your partner is not willing to help them selves MOVE ON! Harsh truth but only they can choose to get better, if you get depressed, read this and get angry its likely because you blame the world instead of self reflecting, a partner CAN NOT fix things on their own.

What if your girlfriend with depression doesnt wanna talk or text for more than a week eventhou I keep on trying to reach out? What would be the best solution? Should I just ignore and move on? Since it's not an equal effort anymore and knowing her having a depression is now making me depressed.

Is there a way to get this video's script so I can send it to my girlfriend? I think it might help, even just a little, with how she can better understand me when I act distant with her or when I start sounding like I'm self loathing.
