I've been seeing someone now for just over 2 months and he's been a bit off with me at times, I've recently asked him about it and he's now told me that the reason why is because he suffers with depression, I also have depression and have been on medication for over a year now, I didn't tell him about it at first but have now that he's told me, he seems happy that I understand what he's going through, i like him a lot and wouldn't want to end the relationship but is it a good idea for 2 people suffering with depression to date?
I dont see why not lol. The only people that really understand a clincally depressed person..iz a clincally depressed person. So when he has a bad time you should know what to do as you can relate.
I agree with feletan.
Not ideal. One goes up the other goes down its like a see saw.
Be careful you don't drag each other down.x
Hi dondons,
It's not going to be a good or a bad idea, if you like each other then stick at it, some days will be hard and some days will be the best you've ever had. The simple fact you both understand each other might help you both feel better!
No one has the right to say if love is right or wrong, if it's something you want to do then you go ahead and give it the best you can!
Sometimes you might find that you want some distance or that he does and he might be a little distant to you, but don't worry about it. The good thing is that you will both understand why..
Take it from me, i dated a girl for 2 years who also had depression like me and we got on great, ofcourse we had our bad days where we hated each other, and i'm not saying this to worry you but it will happen, try not to get to hung up on the bad days and concentrate on the good days.
Wish you two all the best!

I think it can be a good thing, because you understand each other better and therefore you can be more supportive. Sending you my best wishes xx
Thank you everyone, think I'm going to stick at it and see what happens, like I say I don't want to end the relationship just hope it works out, I think maybe it can be a good thing that we can understand and talk to each other, plus we live nearly an hour away from each other so we can both have our distance/space if and when we need it.
Thanks again x
