Hi Guys, not sure if this should go here or relationship stress because its about my depression too...

My partner and i havent had a good last 4 weeks but i think those problems are over...however....im finding it hard to connect with him on an emotional level....its hard for me to enjoy the love and romance and my sex drive is none existant....and that frustrates him. He isnt mad but he gets frustrated and then it makes me feel so bad but i feel like he is more of a cuddle buddy to me at the moment than anything else but i dont want to leave him....

I suppose this was a more of a get it off my chest post than anything

It's a difficult situation.

The bottom line is - do you want to be in this relationship?

If you do, a part of that is sometimes putting the relationship needs before your own.

Will that be difficult for you?

Hi Guys, not sure if this should go here or relationship stress because its about my depression too...=> It's ok

My partner and i havent had a good last 4 weeks but i think those problems are over...however....im finding it hard to connect with him on an emotional level....its hard for me to enjoy the love and romance and my sex drive is none existant....and that frustrates him. He isnt mad but he gets frustrated and then it makes me feel so bad but i feel like he is more of a cuddle buddy to me at the moment than anything else but i dont want to leave him....=> did he know you are depress? if yes, he should know this and deal with it from the first, he should anticipate this. Then about you, you are still in depression and you start a relationships ? did you know relationships cause more trouble and problems to deal with? did you know that relationships needed maturity? did you know depression people cannot deal with heavy problems and relationships usually are dealing with heavy problems, basicly it makes your depression worst if the relationships is not healthy.

I suppose this was a more of a get it off my chest post than anything => GOOD, Get better

My advice:
1. Took a good care of yourself first. (Told your bf, make him understand)
2. Don't focus too much on other unless your depression are heal first.
3. Get better and the start repair all broken things, one by one.
4. Be more positive.
