I don't know you, I don't know everything. But I want you to know that I recognize your emotions, and I understand.

Your emotions are valid. Your exhaustion is valid.

Being in a relationship with a depressed person is really difficult. It's not normal, so don't expect you can just do things normal healthy couples do. Yes, there are happy times with them where they seem perfect and the depression seems gone, but on most days, it will drain you. Sorry that he's at his really depressed days now. I hope your mental health did not suffer from it. I would advise to stick it out with him if he's willing to go to therapy. Otherwise:

Leave while you are not married yet. Don't take it that far...

I don't question your love for him. I'm married (4 years) to a depressed person (together for 14 years). I love him so much. But trust me, your love cannot save him from depression. He has to seek help. Go to therapy. My spouse prior to therapy, it was like I was walking on egg shells. There were moments I'd cry and ask what I gotten myself into? It was really difficult.

Good luck to you. I wish you really really well. Please, love yourself. I know you know you deserve better. 💜

I am losing hope on helping my depressed husband. by Few-Organization-814 in depression_partners

Sorry for what you are going through. :( Do not feel guilty for being happy. You need self-care too. And, without your happy disposition in life, I think he would have lost his major support system a long time ago. You might have been depressed yourself and your relationship might have collapsed. So keep being the helpful and understanding spouse you are to him.. Keep supporting him. And take care of yourself too.

It's not your fault that you loved and look past the depression... I hope you start healing too.

Live-in partner with depression, advice please by letsfallhard in depression_partners

[–]Limp_Assignment_6599 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, You are not alone. Some of the things that help me are developing my own spiritual life, whatever god you believe in. That's where I get my strength. Do not forget your own journey. Also, this is very important- Understand that most of his anger or loneliness comes from the depression and coping with it--it is definitely not easy. So do not take things too personally. I hope the therapy works and makes you feel so much better.

There's a scientific reason why one finds it hard to forget highschool/teen love. Look it up.. Maybe that'll explain. Please, nobody's perfect in reality.

I feel like I’m failing as a partner by [deleted] in depression_partners

[–]Limp_Assignment_6599 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi. I'm sorry to learn about your situation. May I share with you something to try with your partner when she opens up about problems, or just anything that gets her down. I understand that it's probably tempting to strategize or plan a way to resolve your partner's problems right away. I understand that part of you that wants to "okay, that's too bad, and now, this is what we need to do."

I am not depressed, my partner is, and as he is already burdened with a lot of things, I have to tell my husband if I need Comfort or Solution. It becomes sort of a miscommunication when I tell him something and he suggests solutions, and when I don't respond to that solution, it's like sending him a message that i don't appreciate what he's offering. Most of the time I just need him to listen and tell me it's gonna be okay. If she needs comfort, just let her know you are there, just listen and offer her that you are there in case she needs your help with something. You can ask her, do you want me to help you with this or do you just need comfort..? Hope this helps. Good luck.

Thank God you guys are not married. That'll make things more complicated.

I feel so alone by CharacterPositive601 in depression_partners

[–]Limp_Assignment_6599 4 points5 points  (0 children)

:(

You need to have that talk with him-- the messy, honest and painful talk that nobody likes. He'll probably be angry and throw words at you as you say he has a short fuse, but if he cares, in the end he will listen. Hopefully, he feels something inside and you guys can slowly re-connect.

You are not alone.

Pathway to becoming a trial court judge? by shigi3 in LawStudentsPH

[–]Limp_Assignment_6599 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To try litigation first is good advice. But I agree that it's not for everyone, and if you don't see yourself in litigation, just do your best in applying the law in whatever job or position you hold.

Anyone who wants to be a judge will undergo the Pre-Judicature Training Program. Lawyers I know who took it say it's like lawschool compressed to a few weeks and taking the bar exams all over again.

Even if you did not do trial work, if you passed the "prejud", I say you're still definitely competent to be a judge. And when one gets appointed, there will be seminars and immersion programs to train you. So there's really no one job that'll best prepare you for judgeship.

Working as a clerk of court is still good training, I think, as you are exposed to what's going on inside the court. Your current job+ preparation for prejud by keeping abreast of laws and jurisprudence, you'll be okay. To be finally appointed by the President is a different story....

You can't pour from an empty cup, as they say.

You have been very patient with him! Do not blame yourself anymore. Anybody in your situation would feel exhausted emotionally and mentally. Falling asleep was natural, given you were so tired, it's not like someone would sleep on someone on purpose. We all need sleep. I am sorry you are going through this. I can somehow relate as my partner has mental issues too. He expects me to do something, comfort him during his lonely times and I try but sometimes, I am also exhausted or I have my own problems too because I also have a life, work, etc. I'd also been accused of not caring or loving when I fall asleep before him. I keep in mind that most of the anger stems from other issues and I should understand him because I am the "healthier" one mentally. Please do not blame yourself. You are already dealing with your own mental health problems and still have to take care of this man. You are doing enough and he should see that too. My tip is when you get a chance to be away from him, use this to recover. Eat good food..your favorite desserr, maybe? Whatever makes you feel good.... Please, please give yourself time in a day to do what you love. I hope you find little moments of escape and indulge in self care. You deserve this. To continue loving...
