I have suffered so long from depression. I’m not sure how severe it is, but since I got a boyfriend I still can’t be happy. I don’t know why, and I cry so much about it. I feel like eventually he won’t want to keep on trying to calm me down, because if I was in his spot I would probably give up & be frustrated. ): What can I do so I can be a better me for not just him, but myself also?

You should try to talk to your boyfriend about how you feel and what you are going through and see if he will be more understanding of it.

ok so lets break this apart

"I have suffered so long from depression. I’m not sure how severe it is,"

Have you seen any therapists for your depression or have you sought

help anywhere ?

"but since I got a boyfriend I still can’t be happy."

No one can make you happy if your not happy with yourself

"I don’t know why, and I cry so much about it. I feel like eventually he won’t want to keep on trying to calm me down, because if I was in his spot I would probably give up & be frustrated. ): "

Well that is understandable

"What can I do so I can be a better me for not just him, but myself also?"

Im not a professional but my thought would be to speak to someone

who is knowledgable about depression. Its not a bad thing to admit your

depressed. Your human. I could be wrong but I think I saw something recently

that said 25% of us are on some sort of ssi thats 1 in 8 people

IMO You have to help yourself before it will get better

Do you have somebody to talk to (other than your bf) about your depression and your feelings? In my own experience, it’s better to let all your feelings out with a therapist or a trusted friend, than it is to dump too much heavy stuff on your partner.
