My boyfriend is my strength and my rock

Posted in My Depression by Amanda at 01:34 on 11th August 2008

It does worry me that I do depend on my boyfriend, this makes me feel a bit helpless at times.

Then I just find myself wondering is this the same for everyone or just for those with depression?

Maybe it isn’t about that at all, maybe it is just about me and the way I am as a person.

I know I can do things without him, and I know I am a remarkable person because of what I have been through and how much stronger I feel because of that.

Strength comes from within and I know I am able to be strong for myself, but I also know he will be strong for me too.

Maybe it isn’t that I depend on him, just I rely on him for certain mental support. I don’t know if this is a positive thing though or a negative thing.

I am certain we all rely on someone at some point for something, so this makes me feel less worried about my needs.

    I find its hard when im manic not to depend on my husband.
    From Helping me get out of bed in a day to telling me to get a shower and making me something to eat.
    When i think about this now i myself thinks (how pathetic) but if it wasn’t for him id fall apart somtimes.
    It isn’t healthy though to have a dependant relationship, if the relationship ever failed then who knows what that would drive you too?
    Get some relationship councilling, it’s been working for us and my husband has said he now feels less burdened.
