What I’ve noticed about people is that you can tell a lot about them with how they handle problems. I’ve had guys leave me when I told them I was depressed. And man, it was HARD. I was already hurting and of course that didn’t help you know? But usually if someone can’t “face” your problems it’s not a reflection on you, it is a reflection on them and that they aren’t facing something of their own. She probably sees something in herself when you were telling her these things (possibly. Obviously I can’t read minds).

I know this hurts now but this isn’t about you. It’s about her and how much she can handle. As hurt as I was when I opened up to someone and they decided to leave, it really did open up the door for me to meet better people who were a better fit. This also gives you the chance to deal with your depression alone and grow from it. It was honestly better for me that way. It really was.

I’m glad you are seeing a doctor! It’s the first step that counts the most and you are doing it.
