Relationships: Make or Break?

We all like to think that our relationships are solid; able to endure the test of time; temptation and indeed, patience. With that being said, have we all really fallen into the perfect relationship? Depression can be a heavy weight on our usually solid foundations. Are you in a relationship where one or both parties suffer from depression? How do you find it, what coping strategies do you have in place?

If this is you, then well done, you're doing great. It is a very tough obstacle and the ultimate test of a relationship.
 
My partner has been my rock through my darker days (pardon the unintentional pun). Don't get me wrong, there have been some tough periods, we're still going strong.
 
I've had relationships falling apart over my depression. Most of the time it has been me to blame. I guess I need to hold out for someone patient enough for me haha.
 
I've always found myself trapped-in by relationships, so tend to try and stay single. I like my own company although it probably isn't very healthy.
 
I was so depressed when I broke up with my girlfriend after finding out that she was cheating on me after all of did for her. I'm still hurting till now.
 
You are never the same person when you start suffering from depression in your relationship and if your partner is not the kind of person that understand how depression affects the victim, it is going to be very difficult for the relationship to survive.
 
It is never easy being in a relationship whenever you are being depressed because most of the times your partner will find it very difficult to understand what you are passing through even when you try so hard to explain to them.
 
I've never been in a relationship and it's why I'm very sceptical about getting into any kind of relationship right now because I believe that it is very difficult to find someone who you can trust and love that will not betray your trust.

The problem of cheating is something that can never be eliminated completely in relationship which is why a lot of relationship has been seen crumbling everyday because partners no longer value relationship to be completely loyal to their partners.
 
No relationship is void of standing the test of time unless you have a strong and understanding partner. I have suffered from depression before though I didn't tell anyone about it not even my partner. The only answer I gave to my partner is just to give me some time. I know that he will be hurting but I don't think he will understand that I am being depressed all day.

I took some weeks away from him, switched off my phone and went very far from home and talk to somebody and I was given some words of encouragement. I became whole again after those talks.
 
What we really need during such period is time to get over it. Then a few of our inside people too, those that can help us weather the challenge we face.
Whenever I feel down too I take time off almost everything and everyone. It works pretty well.
 
Going off and staying off from people works very well for me. I am learning on how to bring in my loved ones to help me to wade away from everything that caused me pain. I'm still giving it a try and I hope it works too.
