Just because someone haves depressed doesn't mean there no a good person and long as they love U for U and we're loyal nothing else really matter because if you should be able to work through anything if U really love each other
As long as they aren’t self-harming and as long as they aren’t using their illness as an excuse to emotionally manipulate me or treat me badly, then yes.
Yeah I have went through depression its no fun, but it can be managed and having a partber makes it so much easier to do so.
Considering that I am anxious and somewhat negative too, I would. Obviously, not to the degree that I am but they deserve love too.
I would not! If I had a friend who got depressed then it's my duty as a friend to talk to him/her and help him/her out of depression but to date someone is not good.
Not ever again. They suck every ounce of patience and compassion you once had.
Yes I would, I'm also depressed, so it'd be nice to date someone who is also depressed. We could be depressed together or try to make each other happy.
I’m married to a man that has chronic depression and id have to say that it honestly sucks.
Yup and try to be supportive as I have been through it myself.
No. Why bother being in a relationship with people who have mental disorders? I'm not into trying to "fix" people.
That's true. If you were on a dating app and they told you they are always sad and depressed, would you be like yup that's my soulmate lol
It depends on how severe the depression is
Usually I would say no
If a person constantly thinks that he/she is not good enough , they are ugly, they don't deserve you.
@Raghav_Singh that’s true
A person feeling that way is just filling their own self-fulfilling prophecy
As someone who used to struggle with depression for 9 years, I would say No. I would wait until they got their health back in line
One reason why I wouldn't date someone right now. I would be a bit of a downer and that does no one any good.
I don’t have anything against people who are depressed, since I know what it’s like. But it’s important to focus on 100% your health, and getting back in line. Before you focus on a significant others. You’ll get there eventually 😊
Yeah it is a rough road. Hit me when I finished menopause. Went from a relatively bright person to a person walking in a fog.
Yeah, I would cuddle up next to them and hold them and play with their hair if they’re a bit of a rough spot
No because the person your dating should be what makes you happy
No I am depressed and I am not the best to be around with
Yes, because I like making happy and see them smile, and if I could help them then that would make me feel like Superman.
I do agree with you,
im the same. Being lonely and chatting to yourself each day,
Im a full time daddy with a 10 year old little boy.
All ya family have passed away,
I feel everyone is depress and wants to get better dating only helps all partys but b warry when its over it might send u spiraling to the same spot or worst
Not advisable considering that depressed people often don't like to talk to others and everyone knows that communication is crucial for a successful relationship
Good question, my answer is yes for the second part of your question
If they have depression, I don't mind. In fact, I'm dating a girl with depression. So yeah, I would.
No, because sometimes I tend to be mentally unstable myself.
Date? Probably not. But helping out as much as i can as a friend? Definitely!
How far would you go for helping him out?
Her being friendly is what matters. I nervous approach women who are nervous or non friendly around me. Because to me that means they're judging me
Yes I have before, I'd be cautious to date someone with depression again, but i won't rule someone out just because they have depression
no that's no good... it don't make sense... they need healing not relationship
I don't think you understand, no one can help them heal, so you are right, but through ever healing/recovery process there has to be support. More over there can be challenges to be with some one with depression that have to be over come, and seeing someone fight to over come those challenges is a help to those fighting the depression and they see some care enough about them. But that is just my experience from fighting depression and my friends experience.
no u don't understand... and u need to understand... anything can be heal that's cause by men... plus love heals everything
You are right I miss understood my bad
👍bless
yes as i would not give up on her and i would do anything to make her lol
Yep, they still need love and if you love them you'll whole heartedly support them through anything.
Only ifshe has a good heart. is kind and generous towards others
Yes. As someone with depression I would hope we are not viewed as damages goods.
Yes I would, I would go through the world just to try and make them happy again!
If I love her enough, I'll be more than happy to date her.
Yes I could help considering I have small depression
As long as they are recieving medication and doing well on therapy so whats the problem
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Absolutely yes.
You seem enthusiastic 😂
Yep, cause it's just a illness and if you love that person you should love them no matter what
👏🏾
Yeah sure so long as I don't feel like I'd be using them
Most definitely as like minded people are the best people to be around
Especially since I have depression and have dated depressed people
Yes I would and I Hope rhe person is honest about it.
I can't date no black person. Who's depressed that's a white people disease. Black people can't afford to be sad.
Be depressed when your rich.
You are not helping Africans with these twidted sayings
African are fine. I'm talking about black people
I am talking about Black Africans. Most Africans are black unless you consider North Africans.
You need to put African American then. Becuase there is culturally a difference between them and us. And historic difference. The only thing we share is skin.
What's funny is that that "difference" that you're spouting is born from racist beliefs. True, cultures can be different but here in America, no matter where you're from, the color of your skin will identify you as that particular race (even though race shouldn't matter).
The fact that there are other people who--like you--are trying to separate yourselves from others reveals that you've internalized the negative biased stereotypes and messages that is spread from the American media (which is white controlled).
Anyway, I don't think plenty of American black/white/Asian etc. people care about dating an African (with all of the stereotypes abounding there such as high risk of AIDS). Not to mention that many find the various accents annoying. ;)
Sure i never said it is the same, cultures so different. But i dont care if one or another or from where but these sayings are unhealthy
I'm still single but I would. It kinda turns me on honestly.
That's messed up if someone's pain turns you on. You should get therapy
Well sure that's what you think. However we are all entitled to have our own desires. But ok I wouldn't call that turn on then but the correct term is right here thoughtcatalog.com/.../
www.quora.com/Why-do-I-fall-in-love-with-girls-who-are-sad-depressed-and-lonely
Ok then what turns you on? What makes you fall in love with a guy? Tell me and i will judge you.
But ironically they complain about dominant men wanting submissive girls but they expect men to be confident and muscular atm machines that should need a therapy.
I see what he’s saying and I agree with you. It’s not their pain that is a “turn on”, but rather the vulnerability, emotions, rawness to being in that state that carries a sort of beauty with it. When majority of the world seems so superficial and fake happy, it’s refreshing to be with people who have felt pain and understand that there is more to life than only good times.
It's just like not helping our selves feeling the satisfaction off showing emotional support.
@Supernatural_fanatic Depression is a disease. It's not being emotional. It does horrible things to a person. People need medical treatment and some can barely get out of bed depending on how severe it is. It affects mood, can make someone easily irritable and snap over the tiniest things so you may need to walk on eggshells constantly. They can get selfish because they believe everyone is against them and life is unfair and everyone should just be understanding of their sadness and never push them to do anything to better any situation themselves. It's obvious you have been affected by this whole new romanticiation of mental disorders that they're "cute" and "quirky". You're both extremely messed up.
@cherryqueen01 actually no not at all. I know many many people who have been medically diagnosed with depression, have been close to or attempted suicide, 2 being immediate family members, and I’m not far from it. But when you’re depressed, it sucks feeling and being alone in it. I’m not saying at all that it should be ignored and keep everyone depressed, but that it’s an experience that hopefully not many people have to go through that allows you to have a deeper appreciation for life.
There is no microscopic evidence which has a bacterial going on inside a person's mind or any visual evidence that you could say its a disease but it is more of a bad habit and of course that is one way of marketing there psychology health clinic. I mean sure it's going to be a disease if that's what you believe. It's a disorder if that's what you believe. It's going to stay that way
I hate positive people, so that leaves me no choice.
It depends how depressed?
Only if it doesn't interfere with my mood
Why not?
I don't want to date you women to being with most of you have forgotten GOD
so no point lol
Yes... if I m attracted
Sure as long as they're trying to get better
If she is depressed before we get together then no.
Yes. If they making a effort then sure
Yeah, I'd try to make her happy
If its chronic then no. I like positive energy.
Depends some people are depressed and lazy
Yes, I just don't date evil people
Lmao as if a woman has any true problems with depression. It's only men who truly suffer when it comes to depression
How do you mean?
Women still get relationships, have friends, and sex when depressed whereas men are treated like they have the plague
Just like to point out not everyone gets happiness from a relationship, or sex. Also not everyone's depression is caused by a lack of these things. I think "men being treated like they have the plauge" is an overreaction. Not all women are the same. Lastly I think your original opinion is rude, it comes across as though you are saying that depression doesn't affect women which is so untrue. However I hope you have a nice day.
you know you might be right in some cases. Many women want a take the lead guy and when a man is depressed he isn't going to be at the top of his game
Anon is right tbh. Men are treated like the plague when it comes to depression because men are expected to be strong.
This is why whenever I date, I absolutely refuse to talk about my depression with a girl I'm dating even if she asks.
@DWD94 But eventually she needs to know. It's sort of important if the relationship goes long term that your partner knows. Maybe not at the very beginning.
@sejla
What she doesn't know won't hurt her.
@DWD94 In the long run yes because it creates a barrier between the two of you that you might not realize. Keeping some secrets doesn't help the relationship.
Yes. Trying to get better is what matters
U can make them feel better
yes i would
No I dont want to deal with that shit
No I wouldn't.
Can I ask why?
Just prefer positive vibes and women who value joy and happiness.
That's fair enough
The thing is some people end up being depressed because they are lonely and feel unloved. You are just sentencing them to death this way
@Hurdleez-Swampede So no 'saving her soul' with Jesus?
You just like people that are like you, and not the ones that Jesus made it a point to connect with, and help?
