My anxiety and depression are ruining my relationship
Depression Support / by LydiaWatsonWinchester

...See more My boyfriend and I have been together for just over six months. Hes the most loving, supportive man Ive ever met and when I told him a few months ago that I feel hopeless and suicidal a lot, he said that he could relate because he feels the same way. Ever since then weve called our depressive moods ‘states and weve agreed that we will always keep communication clear and open and that we will always help each other out of a state no matter the cost. The only problem is that now, Ive started having them a lot more than him because of exam stress and my unhealthy relationship with my family. It happens at least once a week now. But before, where he was very understanding and supportive, now he tends to become more cold and unemotional with me. And I find it a bit unfair because I know that Id never do that to him. He tells me that I just need to stop worrying about the future and ‘cross my bridges when I come to them, but he doesnt understand that I literally cannot stop worrying, ever, and that him being cold with me never helps. I just feel like an abusive piece of shit that never does anything right and I dont know what to do. TLDR: My tendencies to worry and stress out make my boyfriend mad at me, so I want to learn how to stop worrying/getting depressed about things that dont matter. How do I do this?
