My girlfriend has depression

Question - (15 January 2012) 2 Answers - (Newest, 17 January 2012)
A male Singapore age 26-29, anonymous writes:

I've been in a relationship with a girl who has depression for about a month now. I try everything to make her feel happy all the time but sometimes she will just feel sad and depressed for no reason.

I often vent about my bad days. All that she can say was "I'm sorry to hear that." I need to hear something more than that. I wish she could say something supportive or maybe tell me a joke to make me feel better.

Although we do love each other. We say "I love you" and "I miss you" and we do mean it. But I feel tired when I'm in a bad mood and no one is close enough for me to open up, except her.

I don't mind when I give more than I take, but eventually I feel tired of not gaining happiness in a relationship.

what should I do now?

aunt honesty agony auntYou should be honest with her, it is the only way, explain to her that you are always there for her if she needs you, and that sometimes you feel like you could do with some support from her, it is only fair. I understand that she suffers from depression but that should not stop her from being there for you as well, that is what relationships are all about at the end of the day.
