I'd stay for as long as I could. Meaning, if it starts affecting my own mental health to the point where I'm getting dragged down with them, I would leave. Considering that I've had depression myself and I've had friends suffering from it, I know what it's like. But I also know how it can affect the people around you depending on the severity of it.
I just wouldn't be able to put myself in a situation where someone else is causing me constant pain through their own mental health issues. I'm willing to support my partner, but I'm not willing to let them use me as a trash can for all their painful and harmful feelings.
Well, I have suffered depression myself in the past and I never told anyone, I kept it to myself, depression it's really hard, so, I wouldn't leave, I would do my best to help that person to feel good and remind him how amazing they are.
s Yes, as long as they didn't try bring me down because of it.
I have suffered from depression before so i can relate to it, and its pretty common.
I wouldn't leave or even turn away someone with depression. I would help them any way that I could because I have a heart and I love helping those less fortunate. It's part of who and what I am. Depression can do truly terrible things to people and even make them feel less than human. I don't want to tell them, sorry but, I have too much on my plate right now. You'll just have to go see a doctor. "No! Not me." I want to help. If I can, I want to make it better or at least a little easier to deal with.
u Depression, anhedonia, dysthymia are all common among high IQ people and the girls I date are all high IQ, so it is a common experience for me. Every partner has weaknesses; in a relationship, you simply try to help each other with those weaknesses.

Not if it was severe. I have my own problems and I’m not a psychiatrist.
Meeting someone who made it a point to mention, may want to let that one go!! If its someone you have been with, and its developed... I think staying is the prudent thing to do. If you have been monogamous with them, and were heading to the big day sometime in the future, my opinion is that you stay with them... you know that whole better or worse thing. The piece of paper will not change, or at least should not change your mind. Practice without the piece of paper, it may just provide the incentive for them to get over their depressuon.
It really depends on if just being yourself is enough to drag them out of the depression hole they are in. As thats where I am with my relationship. We had a 2 year time break and now were back together and passion is higher than ever and both our cases of depression have all but dissolved.
So I can emphasize enough it really depends how mutal the two are.
I am very submissive, and all my girlfriend had depression. But, I feel the need to fix it. Because, beneath the depression us usually a nice person. So I would try to cheer them up, and try to fix it, even tho it may be impossible. And it is not like a depressed person can't love. Give love, receive love, I believe
It's a big deal to ask of someone because of everything she is going through. As a guy, it depends on what her depression is. There are different levels and kinds of depression. If I do genuinely like the girl and can tell that she sees me as an exit from her depression, then sure I would date her or at least help her.
Hm... It depends. I know the society are a but cruel to people with depression. I could date a depressive girl as long as she is willing to fix targets in her life and work up to overcome her condition. I think people who suffer from anxiety issues are more hard to cope than the depressive ones.
Depression is only a state. It's not a disease. I mean, if you are cool and have a good personality and someone starts to attract feelings. Why not date them. Especially if that person pulls out of it.
Since I've also been struggling with serious depression for most of my life, of course I would. That mutual support can make all the difference, and be the key to breaking out of that cycle of depression.
No, wouldn't date them, would help them, but not date them. I want them to be able to stand up for themselves, not rely on me. Only when I'm confident that they can break out of that depression is when I might consider dating them.
Everyone struggles with some degree of depression or anxiety. The issue for me would be severity, such as suicidal attempts vs thoughts of hopelessness. I used to date someone that had gone through trauma as a child and had depression. It was a very tough because I wanted to be the Savior but was not able to be of much help.
it's a really difficult question. depression is a mental illness and i've found it is difficult. if you cannot emotionally support someone at their worst then it's really not worth it.
I don't judge girls. I knew girl's personally who was battling depression. I would date a girl who has depression.
I tried and it didn't work out... so most likely not. He just had so many issues and I couldn't deal with all that. However, not all people with depression are the same and severity varies.
Depends on if she's actually using that as an excuse for crappy behaviour or learning from mistakes and is at least trying to not make those mistakes.
I am dating someone with depression. It's very difficult. She's a great girl, and it's why I'll stay with her.
Since I had it I would but it depends on how bad it his depression is.
I m already fucked if I date someone with depression its gonna get really bad
I'll definitely stay because in my head she need help but if I see that me being her doesn't matter then I'll leave
Yes, then I could compare my depression with their depression.
There's just something about sharing mutual hatred over mutual interests that is more bonding.
Hell no not when they are in depression. If they are always in that mood fine ill give it a try. As a depressed guy i know how desperate it can be
