Depressed And Struggling In My Relationshiphonestly

Spend more time going out or taking walks together to strengthen your relationship. Occasionally, engage in favorite activities like listening to music that moves you and dancing. Encourage each other to share thoughts about past experiences, family, politics, and religion. Understand what makes each other feel good and bad. Plan days out at museums, the cinema, swimming, and the gym. Participate in sports such as golf and tennis. Try new things regularly. Work on improving together or set your own pace. Consider taking courses in dance, art, or crafts.

Thanks a bunch! I'll give it a shot, honestly.

I totally get that feeling when I was starting out with my soon-to-be husband. I was super insecure back then and always needed constant reassurance-man, it wore him down something fierce. Over time, though, I learned to boost my own self-esteem in different ways. And yeah, sometimes this numbness can be a symptom of depression too. If he really cares about you and treats you well, try not to mess things up by doubting yourself all the time. Work on feeling good about yourself first, and then everything else falls into place. Being numb isn't fun, but it's definitely something that can change. Maybe get out a bit more, do your favorite thing, or even just chat with someone like you're doing now. Kudos to you for reaching out-it's an awesome step in the right direction.

thx!

I was totally paranoid when I met my husband. Fast forward 17 years and we're still going strong-I trut him completely, and he feels the same about me. One time, he was super sweet and said, "Here's my email password-feel free to check." That did help ease my mind a bit. But eventually, I could see he was solid and it all came back to my childhood when my dad would go out and my mom would be a wreck thinking he had someone else.

Over time, I needed less reassurance-but hey, if I ever need it again, that's totally fine. Getting married really helped me too. It's not fun being in this place where you're consumed by doubt, but honestly, don't skimp on your mental health because of it. Doing things you love will definitely help take the edge off those worries. For years,I also did group therapy, which was a lifesaver back then-but it's tough to find now.

Learning to liek yourself is super important and happens gradually. You deserve happiness in a relationship. Now, if he met someone else and fell for them, I would let him go because I'd want him to be happy-even if it hurts me at first.That thought actually feels pretty liberating. If he ever left me, it would sting-but deep dwn, I know I could carry on just fine solo.

Life's a mystery wrapped in uncertainty, so try not to let this fear rob you of joy riight now. Enjoy your time together and focus on the here and now-it mighht make things easier. You both deserve happier hours ahead. Take care!

np, glad to help.
