Dating With Depression

This is a guide to dating someone with depression. It's pretty self-explanatory, I guess. This shows different aspects of what it's like to love and be loved by someone with depression. If you have a question about something I haven't covered yet and want me to write about it, shoot me a message or comment.
****DISCLAIMER***** this can be triggering to some people.
Also, this is not a 100% on every person with depression. Though everyone with depression is given the same titles, it doesn't affect us all the same. Thus, the advice I give or stories I write in relation to this doesn't work the same for everyone. I will try to give general advice and give warnings about something specific to subcategories of people with depression. However, if you have depression or are with someone who does and find these things don't apply to you or your SO, feel free to send me your input so I may add them to my chapters and we can make everyone's experiences in love a little better. ❤️❤️
Lastly, I am in a heterosexual relationship, and thought I believe all love is the same, the way females interact with females and males interact with males is likely not the same as a male interacting with a female. Similarly, I am a female, and a male dealing with depression is likely vastly different than a female dealing with depression.
I may have my boyfriend write a few articles (as I believe he deals with it as well) to help expand our audience, but as of writing this, he isn't even aware I'm writing this

There are a lot of things you don't really think about until they happen to you. Take rape, for instance. I always thought, "That won't happen to me. I have a boyfriend. I trust him. He would never take advantage of me like that..." I couldn't have been more wrong. Love in this day and age is often confused for manipulation and abuse. The warning signs are here. The things we say will tell us everything that is wrong. You are worth more than what you think you are. It's not your fault. If they tell you otherwise, get out. Burn the bridge. Always remember someone is waiting for you to walk into their life. Someone needs you. Someone loves you. Getting away from all of the wrong people and finding the right ones could save you. I can promise you right now that it saved me. These are the journal entries and selected poems from my first experience of love that left a unpleasant taste in my mouth- quite literally. I am putting this out for the whole world to see because I hope everyone will learn from my experience. People can see. We have no excuses to continue living our lives in ignorance. ...WARNING... HARMFUL THEMES INCLUDING MENTION OF SUICIDE, SELF HARM, AND RAPE. THIS HAS EXPLICIT CONTENT. RECOVERY AND AWARENESS IS THE PURPOSE OF SHARING. DO NOT READ IF THESE THEMES ARE OFFENSIVE OR HARMFUL TO YOU.Complete
Beneath The Surface
I'm falling... Falling, helplessly and inevitably; completely at the mercy of the forces dragging me down. Having to trust in an entity's blind intentions and praying to God that they won't let me hit the ground. It's an incredible and horrifying feeling. A feeling that I live for. And I have realized that having something to live for makes you all the more scared of dying. (Constant uploads, and even more editing to older uploads)Complete

And I've found that that is what love truly is and truly should be." (Updates every Wednesday and Saturday!)Complete
Beautifully Flawed

He always left the breadcrumbs for me to find my way back to him - back home - and realizing this right now, I made a decision. ****** After a terrible heartbreak, Jimin is finding himself again. He has a job that he loves,friends who care for him and unconditional love from his main - his mother. He wants to find love again. He longs to be wanted and to feel loved again.

Sometimes fate resembles a fruit tree in winter. Who would think that those branches would turn green again and blossom, but we hope it, we know it. --------- I will have a warning at the beginning of chapters that contain smut. Mostly fluff, little angst and lots of sweet romantic moments as well as friendship moments. ----------Complete
The Way Love Changes You; Book One: Love's Firsts
Love can feel empowering. Love can be deadly. It can be the greatest thing to ever happen. It can be the biggest mistake that can't be reversed. It can feel like a dream come true. It can feel like a nightmare that you can't wake up from. Love changes people in many ways, from mild to severe, whether it's beneficial or detrimental in anybody's life, no matter if you're lesbian, gay, straight, bisexual, pansexual, or a person who just loves people without a label. How does love change you? ******* It's like your basic high school love story, except it's with adults in their early-mid 20s, and they're either still in college or have graduated from college and have jobs. It's a modern slice of life narrative novel about lesbians trying to find true love or wanting to get back into the love game. Five of these lovely characters share their own little tales of how love changes them first go, or their first time in forever! Their perspectives on love as it takes effect either get sensual, dramatic, or to the extent of a slow burn, as they also deal with life's obstacles along the way and share a part in each other's stories. There are ups and downs as their own stories go along, and it all gets more suspenseful towards the end where problems unfortunately arise. Will things get better or worse from here for these lovestruck lesbians as the story goes on? [Content/Trigger Warnings- the main warnings are scenes of sexual activity, and suicidal talk/attempt, along with mentions of said attempt. Everything else is listed inside the book! Please read the list before reading the book!] [Word count: +140,000 words...I write a lot, but enjoy anyway!]Complete

【 ꜰᴏʀᴍᴇʀ ʏᴀɴᴅᴇʀᴇ! ꜰ. ʀᴇᴀᴅᴇʀ x ᴍ!ʏᴀɴᴅᴇʀᴇ 】 This world has never felt real to you, especially when you found yourself obsessed with a certain boy in your class. It doesn't help that you felt some kind of force whispering to you to kill him in order to prove your love. So, you did. Strangely, the world seemed to be against him dying, because you found time kept repeating itself each time he died. You kept murdering him until a sudden epiphany dawned on you, as if you had broken away from the force controlling you. You were a character in a game-a villain who would always kill the protagonist. However, as if the developers knew you were no longer controllable, they replaced you so the boy you were obsessed with would still die and time would never move forward. Hence, you took it upon yourself to protect him. But why does the protagonist seem to be acting strange?Complete
You Can Trust Me - A Markiplier Fanfic
People move away for a lot of reasons. Jobs, dreams, better weather... A fresh start... I knew my problems wouldn't just go away with another new city. But maybe, just maybe, I wouldn't have to face them alone. ----- Update: I wrote this in 2014, publishing again so me and my friends can see writing growth. ----- Update: This fanfic is now finished. I was going to add a last chapter to wrap things up but it's been months and the fire I had for this project has died down and been reincarnated in another fic I'm working on. But I love this story dearly and hope you enjoy it too! ***PLEASE READ*** This is my first published fanfiction, and although it's not exactly your run-of-the-mill romance story, I am genuinely happy with how it's going. This is "You Can Trust Me," a Markiplier fanfic, and it has a general trigger warning for abuse, sexual assault, and some mental illnesses such as P.T.S.D. and depression. There will be mostly "fluff," but some adult themes will be implied as the story progresses. I do not own Markiplier, his name sake or any form of content that is his alone. I only own my work of fiction, and my imagination. Enjoy~Complete

Ironic, right? I was in the exact same position he was in before. "I'm crazy for you. Literally. I would do anything and I mean anything to keep you all to myself." He tells me, scoffing at the thought of something as if he found an inside joke. "I know selfish. I know I'm supposed to be a good Christian boy and here I am... haha... killing people for you~" The psycho admits, gazing at me with a grin on his face. Holding a bloody knife in his grasp. The sharp point's on his index finger, slowly twirling it. "You're crazy for me, you said you love me and-" "I WAS crazy for you but I wasn't that crazy to KILL innocent people for you because I knew I had issues but this is beyond insane!" I'm standing face to face in front of my brainwashed crush. The one I kidnapped and told him things that was beyond coherence to him at the moment. I confessed my feelings for him in the same method. ---- But he was never like this because I was the one that changed him. It was me. After almost two months of captivity, I let him go. For the reason of him: never loving me. I Deleted my social media accounts, dropped my classes, and burned his stuff I kept. I haven't seen him for days until one day when I was walking to my classes. I accidentally bumped into him with my schedule and he grabbed it amongst the other miscellaneous stuff, and ever since then, I've been seeing him everywhere. At times, I wish he would've just reported me. Because this is a living nightmare. Started: 20210327 (I think?) Ended:
