Can a deeply insecure, anxious and depressed person be in a healthy, loving relationship?

What do you think?

I believe so! Everyone deserves love and I think that having someone who is there for that person can help boost their mood a lot :)

I would like to believe so. It may be a bit more difficult to find the right person but i hope there is someone who is patient, kind, and understanding who will accept you as you are and support you through good and bad days.

I guess I'm lucky.

I found that person that has shown me patience and compassion I never thought I could receive, and my anxiety is severe enough that I pick skin off my fingers to the point where I make myself bleed. Keep in mind, everyone in this world has issues, so even though you think you're this heavily broken person, someone may not think so.

And being in a relationship isn't going to solve your loneliness or depression, at all.

@adoredHug70 for sure, but I think it's important to establish a sense of self-love and self-worth before getting into a relationship. I truly believe that the healthiest relationships are formed between two people that are independent and have confidence and self-worth and come together to support one another. That's not to say that people with anxiety or depression can't be in a healthy relationship because anxiety and depression fluctuates and is treatable. I think anyone can be in a healthy relationship once they find the right match!

I love your username. Of course. Sometimes you have to watch your emotions a bit, but as long as you are treating the other person well and remembering not to get consumed by your feelings, you will have a lot of good connections in your life. You can live with depression or anxiety and not have it take over everything.
