SIGNS THAT DEPRESSION IS RUINING YOUR RELATIONSHIP


First and foremost, depression is not the occasional blues that we all feel from time to time and the term should not be used lightly. Depression is a serious mood disorder that should not be ignored. The therapists that offer depression counseling in Mumbai can help you from causing any damage to yourself and can help you get back on track with your life. Sadly, when ignored, depression, or for that matter any mental health illness, is bound to have a negative impact on a person’s relationship with his/her partner or spouse. When going through depression your constant lack of enthusiasm, cynicism, irritability, hopelessness and lethargy are bound to permeate into your relationship as well. The quality of our relationship or marriage is determined by the kind of effort that both the partners put into it. When one of the partners is consistently unable to put in any effort and displays disruptive behavior, the relationship is bound to suffer unless they seek help from a therapist. In most cases, when things have gotten to the point where both parties are suffering equally, a better option is to enroll yourselves into couple therapy.

Mentioned below are a few of the most alarming signs that your depression is ruining your relationship with your significant other and that you need help -

●     Your sexual desires have diminished, and you are no longer interested in having any sort of sexual relationship with your partner and your disinterest in sex has become apparent to your partner as well.
●     You are not as affectionate towards your partner as you used to be or worse, you do not feel or display any affection towards them.
●     Your sleep schedule has been thrown off-balance due to your inability to fall asleep or because of you sleeping at off hours during the night or day. Which in turn, eats into the time you spend with your partner.
●     You’ve become unreasonably rude or snappy with your partner. You have no patience with them and you bicker way more than usual.
●     There has been a significant increase in your consumption of alcohol or drugs which has been taking a toll on your relationship.
●     Your trust in your partner has dwindled for no apparent reason. Not only that, you even mistrust their intentions and words.
●     You do not enjoy partaking in activities you once loved doing together as a couple.
●     Being negative and feeling hopeless has affected the quality of the time you spend together. What once seemed to give you joy and fulfilment now seems displeasing or pointless.
●     You are so consumed with your mental issues that you end up not paying attention to your partner and their needs.
●     You just can’t get yourself to make any contributions to maintaining your once healthy relationship.

When in a relationship or marriage, even though it is one person that is plagued by depression, two people suffer. It goes without saying that, without the help of a therapist, you will not only continue to suffer but you will also end up ruining your relationship with your significant other.

MENDING AND HEALING RELAITONSHIPS

There is no relationship in the world that does not face problems between the two people. When we talk about a relationship, we have to keep in mind that we are talking about two different individuals coming together to form a beautiful bond of love. Two people with different ideologies and different thinking striving to be accommodating of each other’s needs and maintaining a balance in their own. This system of accommodating and acceptance is going to have a little bit of friction leading to minor fights. But what is important, is how the two people make up after the fight and whether they accept and move on from the incident. Sometimes, a fight or a situation can be so gruesome that both or one of the individuals cannot let go of it. That is when they need the help of a relationship advisor who may be a friend close to the family, a family member or a professional who is trained to deal with couples’ issues on a daily basis. This relationship advisor’s main aim is to first...

HOW CHILDHOOD SCARS AFFECT ADULTHOOD

We all face different types of problems in our life. These can be problems in different areas in our lives. It could be our work, our family, our love life, relationship with our friends, career related or something else. Nobody is totally happy and without problems in life. But we have been bestowed with the ability to face these situations and find a solution for these problems on day to day basis. This is how life works after all. We face a problem, we tackle it and then we move forward to the next one waiting for us. Cycle of life as some people like to call it.
