Depression Understood Forums

I'm new to this forum so thought I should introduce myself.

I'm 22 and living in the South West with my other half and have recently been feeling my depression take control again. I don't take tablets for it and would really prefer to stay that way. My partner and I have been having trouble lately which lead to him talking to other females in a less than appropriate way, expecting no less this has triggered everything again. We are still together and he understand the way I feel but now this has happened I am finding it really hard to trust him and to control my depression. I feel so negatively towards everything, I dont want to go out, speak to people but if I'm alone I just tend to cry most of the time or sleep. I want to be able to get back to 'normal' at least get it back under control.

I guess I am just looking for support from others who know they way I feel not about the situations but about the depression. Looking forward to meeting you

((((turtle))))) Sorry you are going through this with your partner. Something like that can take a while to work through. Is he supportive of your depression at all?

He is to the extent of what he understands about it all, sometimes takes my not wanting to talk to people or go out as me being grumpy or unsociable. I guess that makes it harder for me to keep explaining it but for him to not know where I'm coming from
