Had SAD for the past six years now, but this year it's already starting to take it's toll.
Main thing at the moment is relationship problems. I've been with my partner for the past seven months (she's depressive), but now it seems to be my turn! Not sure what to do, I just seem to want to argue all the time with her and this is not in my nature at all. I just feel lonely and that I have no one else to turn to about this. She doesn't really understand the situation at the moment even though all my family have tried to explain it to her. I met her in January last year when I wasn't that badly affected by this.
Anyone got any ideas on any useful information I can give her? Just any support would be much welcomed :)
It sounds like she is having a negative effect on your behaviour and well being. I do believe people can influence how we feel in ourselves and if she is deppressive then this will rub off on you. You could seek councelling together or have a think if this is really what you want.
Hi Michloue, check the aggressive heading in the forum. There are some people in the same boat as you. show the relevant titles in these forums to your partner, it worked for me. my partner now has some understanding of why & how I change. I’m exactly the same as you. I don't want to argue, but before you know it, stirring my tea in an anti-clockwise direction is world war 3. I’m ok in the summer months, but when the lights go out in the winter.... I’m an a*se. I know I shouldn’t be doing it but I can’t stop it. Hope it helps.
