Coping with a girlfriend who left you due to depression

It is important to never forget who you are. Living with depression can be one of the most painful experiences of our lives. I have lived with depression myself. People must understand that depression is a disease and sickness. It drains everything out of you. Sometimes one with depression can only handle one activity a day. These patients must sleep a lot in order to complete this. A lot of people do not understand how depression can destroy relationships. People with depression have trouble staying connected. It is important to know how to cope. I have found that coping is a struggle. We need assurance that our partner will come back. Our partner left us in the dark to take the world on our own. Hope for our depressed partner is one of the most important things we can accomplish. This shows that we have not given up on them. We can blame ourselves that we might have caused their depression. People cannot think that way. This is the disease talking. If we blame ourselves then it will be more challenging to move on. There will be times that our depressed partner can blame us for their problems when they clearly need help. There are things we can do to help boost our self-esteem while coping. Exercise is an essential factor because we are feeling good about ourselves by releasing endorphins. Music is a great way to help us feel better. I would also suggest talking to a professional and talking it out. The best way for me to overcome my partner who has depression is to write it out and that is why I have started to blog on here. Spending time with friends and family and keeping busy are the best ways to feels better. I have found that doing anything to keep yourself distracted can help. Again, it is important to never let us forget who we are. We can't depend on someone else for our own happiness. There are many people who are suffering in this cruel world. It is important to remember our values, morals, and responsibilities so that we do not forget who we are.
