7 Signs Your Relationship is Making You Depressed

3 members

Are you wondering if a relationship can actually make you depressed? Love can be a double-edged sword. Sometimes it makes us feel more alive than we ever thought possible, and sometimes it has us at its mercy. Sooner or later, we need to evaluate our relationships and let go of people who may be toxic towards us. The unfortunate truth is that some people are just not ready for relationships and may not have your best intentions in mind. Accepting that your partner is contributing to your depression is hard to face - especially if you desperately want things to work out
