Has anyone struggled with depression before

I've been struggling with depression for about 2 years now, no medication. I've struggled with self harm before (thank god I haven't mutilated my body in over a year!) but as time goes on I beat myself up more and more because it's ruined more than a handful of my friendships were people literally walked out of my life because "I was too sad and they had a future ahead of them". I'm not asking for pity, I'm asking for advice because this is beginning to be a buffer in my relationship with the man I've been with for 2 years now, and it's hard for me to communicate sometimes about how I feel because I don't know what to tell him. And he's struggling with depression too so we both tend to shut each other out. And we talked about it last night because he told me he felt like he wasn't making me happy anymore, well he's the only physical thing here that does make me happy. And it sucks that he's in the army so I hardly ever see him when I desperately need someone here for me. Someone please just talk to me about this.
