Can you have supportive friends/family members and be in a healthy relationship, AND still have depression? (Just trying to prove something)

Question

Answer

Chemical imbalance give no shits about how your life is going. While something bad happening can make it more likely for someone to be depressed you can still get depressed even if you have a good life and “no reason to be depressed”.

Answer

Absolutely. On top of that, there's this sense of guilt for feeling that way when you have it so much better than those who don't have supportive family, friends, and a significant other 😕

Answer

My friends and family are amazing and I've been in a fantastic relationship for 1 year 8 months (also the first relationship for both of us) - I have a fainting condition, sensory processing disorder, stress-related IBS, generalised anxiety disorder, and severe major depressive disorder.... I got hit by a car and sexually harassed both about two years ago and it all went downhill from there... I feel really guilty whenever I have unpleasant thoughts, and I sometimes tell my bf to leave me, but only when I'm in a state because I think I can't make him happy and I want him to find love and happiness and I feel like I'm too broken for that and he deserves far better... My depression is really bad and we're long distance now (he graduated and lives on an island so there's a lot of miles and some sea in the way of his magic cuddles) which I find really really tough, but whenever I say anything in a depressive episode he always says "that's the mush in your head talking, not the girl I fell for" 💕 It's really really hard for both of us, but it's possible and it's worth it ❤ Just you both have to want it, and you both need the patience of a saint! 😇

Answer
