...See more People with chronic major depression or other serious long-term mental health issues who are also in relationships, how do you handle it? My significant supports me a lot and during the worst episodes I even rely on him. The relationship isn't one-sided but he is definitely giving me much more than I can give him. It is a fact that we both know that if he would ever do as badly as I do, I most likely would not be able to support him the same way he supports me. I would just not have the resources for it, since I can barely even take care of myself. People in similar situations, how do you handle it? I just feel so guilty and I can't help but to think of myself as a burden even though I know he could just leave if he didn't want this. We've been together for a long time so I do trust him fully. How can I make our relationship feel more equal when I feel like I have nothing to offer?
