How do I stop drifting from my boyfriend because of my depression ?
These past couple of weeks have been really hard for me. I’ve been super stressed from work drama and lack of social life and just generally depression. I tend to shut down when I’m overwhelmed with these kinds of emotions. I don’t mean to at all. My boyfriend is the only person I have in my life other then a friend whose pretty distant. I love my boyfriend and don’t want to hurt them. But I can see that it’s hurting them and making them sad too. I don’t know what to do. It’s hard to try to force myself to be happy but I wanna be better for them and myself. I’m stuck.
I'd keep the lines of communication open as much as you can. Be honest about how you are feeling as often as you can. Get as excited about their stuff and doing stuff together as you can.
When they can feel how hard you are trying, it helps. Most of all, forgive yourself as often as you can. @YanaC
