A story that unfortunately happens again and again: Many people suffering from depression break off their relationship with their life partner in search of the supposed fulfilment of their desires. When they can think clearly again, they return to their partner. The partner naturally suffers from the constant change of personality and does not know how to deal with it. It is nevertheless possible for such a relationship to work. The prerequisite is that both partners speak openly with each other and try to understand each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
A person suffering from depression is like a person with two different faces. In the non-depressed phase, the conscious phase, he is able to look at his life soberly and without illusions. He sees his life realistically with all the good and not so good aspects and his own limitations. In contrast, his unconscious side only focuses on what is missing in his life or what he cannot get from his partner. He only thinks about how his life should be, not how it is. What he would like to have, but not what he already has.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The unconscious part of the person is consumed by what he cannot get and he drastically tries to change his life. For the partner, this means ending the relationship in order to supposedly strive for something better, which he has become stuck on in his depressed state.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
During a depressive phase, a person thinks only in absolute terms. His current circumstances will then never be sufficient and he wishes for someone who corresponds to his ideal and reacts in exactly the right way.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
It is important for this person to admit his illness to himself and to be aware of his two faces. Before he reaches the point that leads him into the depths of the Absolute, he must stop himself. If he manages to find this point, he can try to change his basic attitude to his life in the long term.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The urge that the depressed person feels during their low to suddenly drastically change their life only lasts temporarily. If the person manages to live through the phase without taking drastic action, both partners can learn to recognise the signs early on and deal with them. Consciously, when he feels the inner pain, he can make the decision to do NOTHING.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
While the partner must learn to understand that these phases are not personally directed against him, but are only caused by the depression, the depressive himself must take responsibility for his mood, acknowledge it and express his feelings. He must consciously acknowledge that his partner will never be perfect and learn to think realistically about his situation. Once this is truly understood, a heavy burden is lifted from the person, because he realises that his partner is not responsible for everything in his life and that his partner also has his own needs.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
One way to release the inner pressure is to focus one's attention on mundane realities in the present. This is how one compensates for the feeling of imperfection by clinging to a dream of a perfect world. Depression feeds on the gap between expectation and reality. When the expectation changes, one can free oneself from the inner pressure.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Depression often arises from the following triggers:\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The unfulfilled dream. A person gets carried away with the dream of a perfect life. One day he realises that he will never be able to achieve this dream. His thoughts and actions are only focused on what he has not achieved and not on what he possesses.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The crisis of deeper meaning. Even when he has achieved much of what he always wanted, he suddenly feels as if none of it has any meaning. Nothing suddenly has meaning. He sets out in search of more.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vitality. He is afraid of getting old, and with that he sees the time he has to fulfil his dreams becoming less and less. He gets gateway panic and tries to feel young again.<\/p>\n
