An unhappy relationship/marriage can make you feel depressed, while a happy one would put you in a very good emotional state.
Relationships too could cause depression and these are some signs your relationship is making you depressed.
1. YOU ARE ALWAYS UNHAPPY
There might be unhappy times in your relationship, but when it gets to a point where you are always unhappy and never happy, then depression is taking its toll.
2. YOU FEEL YOU CAN NEVER FIND HAPPINESS
Depression has its way of planting evil thoughts in your mind. When you are depressed, you tend to think that you would never ever be happy. When your relationship takes your mood to such a low point, it could just be a sign that you are depressed in that relationship.
3. YOU FEEL OPPRESSED
When you feel you are oppressed, dominated and totally controlled in your relationship, depression might begin to step in because you don’t live your life freely.
4. ISOLATION
Depressed partners in relationships tend to be alone; they want to be away from everyone and just be with themselves. They no longer feel a part of the world and try to avoid being with people.
5. EMOTIONAL WITHDRAWAL
Depression can make you withdraw from your partner gradually; you might be present physically, but it’s like you are absent. Depressed partners tend not to show any response or reaction.
6. ADDICTION
Depressed partners tend to look for alternative measures to find relief; since they live in isolation and emotional withdrawal, they tend to have certain addictions that might serve as a way of escape for them.
7. YOU FEEL ALWAYS ABUSED
Of course, an abusive relationship can make you feel depressed. When your partner abuses you physically or emotionally, it could take its toll on you and make you depressed.
8. CRITICISMS AND BLAMES
Criticisms and blames are two parts of a depressed relationship; in this kind of relationship, your partner criticises you for everything, and then you start heaping the blames of your misfortune on your partner.
9. OBSESSIVE THINKING
Depression could push you to this point of obsessive thinking, where you find yourself thinking even during working hours; you are always carried away with your thoughts and you’re more in your thoughts than being physically present.
It isn’t only stress from work and life pressures that could make one depressed, even your relationship could make you depressed.
