Just posted this to the wrong board so sorry if it comes out twice. New here...I typed 'depression and relationships' into Yahoo and came here. Can any one offer me some reassurance that I am not the only one confused about what came first: am i having problems in my relationship because of my depression, or am I depressed because I have been slogging away at a relationship that is not so great? Or both! Is this chicken/egg question doing anyone else's head in? I don't know which one needs to be dealt with first! I am hurting my partner by letting him go through all this with me when I might leave him in the end anyway, and I'm hurting myself feeling guilty about making him miserable on top of my own yucky mental state. I am 22 and have been having big bad periods for about 9 years now. Maybe this is just another one and I couldn't bear to lose him for the wrong reasons. I've never been in a relationship when I've been depressed before so it all just baffles me. Yuck.
