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.
