Could a relationship heal your depression?
>>83847668any real human connection probably could
I know it would
>>83847668spending all my money on courting, then supporting a second person on my shitty salary? yeah, i think it'll be worse after that.
>>83847668only if it were a relationship with my crush
>>83847668It did, when I was close. but I never get past the first date. My depression is usually mainly due to the fact that I am romantically lonely.
>>83847668yeah probably, but i'd rather cure my own depression on my own than let someone else do it
>>83847692if your depression is due to social isolation you literally can't cure it on your own
>>83847668>could drinking water cure your dehydration?
>>83847668No, but it would make it more manageable.
given that loneliness is the reason i'm depressed, i would wager very much, yes! in a heartbeat. literally a silver bullet to all of my problems.
less sadness but more stress and frustrationpick your poison
>>83847835i rather be stressed and frustrated. Sadness holds you back, in the work life. And you risk losing your job, because of depression
It made my depression worse because my moid cheated and dumped me for a bimbo
>>83847668I don't have the emotional stability to handle relationships, so no. The last one made me super clingy and codependent, so I think I need to work on myself.
>>83847884>I got pumped and dumped by Chad and it's your fault incel
>>83847668A healthy one, maybe.I haven't met a well adjusted decent woman since 2020, including the ex I broke up with last year I was dating since 2018
>>83847668Yes but the emphasis is on real and with the right type of woman. This type is very rare and will never want me so what is the point. Not some 30 year old post walled roastie with a child and 6 exes.
>>83847668The only thing a relationship could do is heal my boredom and make cumming easier
>>83847668Im probably too bitter. I would destroy it. I would spit on the offer even if it was brought to me on a silver platter. Idk what to do
>>83847668Dont have depression but my confidence would go up and i would have a reason to actually put in effort.
>>83847668Yes, there were days when I wanted to piledrive her but looking forward to my pretty young girlfriend coming over, the (supposed) assurance that she'd never leave me, and what I'd do with her (not just le seggs) kept me going. Now I have to find another pretty one in her 20s and that is super-grim for me at this point.
>>83847668>Could a relationship heal your depression?IT ABSOLUTELY COULD BUT (((SOCIETY))) CONTINUOUSLY DENIES ME A GIRLFRIEND
>>83847668>Romance heals depressionHas this been scientifically studied?
>>83849084Lets e-date ZADDY
>>83847668At this point, it is totally unfixable. A relationship would only make things worse.
>>83847668From personal experience, chronic depression coupled with long-term isolation can make you too distorted to find any joy in a relationship. The guilt will remain, those thousands of hours ruminating and hating yourself too. To feel better you need to change yourself and how you think and that can only stem from yourself not another person. Take care of yourself, go to the gym, live life and try and rewire the negativity. This advice only applies to failed normies though unfortunately.
Relationships heal basically everything.
>>83847668You stupid asshole the only relationship I was ever in is why I think about kms all day every day fuck you
>>83847668NopeI'm too far goneI've actually got a chance right now, there's this 5/10 girl with REALLY big tits that works at my place and she's into me, but knowing me, it's not gonna work out
>>83847668It did for like 4 years, so yes. I hate when normalfags say that sex/romance aren't a big deal. Bunch of fucking liars. Being in a relationship was probably the only thing that made me consistently happy in my entire life.
>>83847668I don't know. I'm so messed up and undateable that the idea of being in a relationship seems like a completely unrealistic and abstract proposition. I certainly don't see how my current lifestyle would gel with it.
>>83847668Its like bandaging my (our) wounds, sure it wouldnt instantly heal but at least now it stops getting worse and eventually they'll just be scars
>>83847668Relationships caused my depression. I was always happy until I started caring about women. Now they've all broke my heart back to back. For reference, I've cried like 20 times in the past 10 years, and all 20 of those times have been in the last 6 months. Last girl did it over a complete misunderstanding. She thought I was doing something I fucking wasn't and completely cut me out of her life.
>>83850013>>83850033kekthe duality of man
>>83847668No, but it would certainly help with it.
>>83847668Judging by how women treat relationships as a transactional social status game it would probably make it worse
>>83847668Without any doubt, yes.As long as it's a real one (and not a fucking "long distance" or "internet gr/bf" shit), with a normal person (not a psychopath or fucking cunt).>>83847884>>83850013That's what you become if you don't follow the simple rule: don't date trash people.
>>83847668I like to think it would help
Unequivocally yes. It happened before and I was actually happy for the first and only time in my life. Details if anyone cares:I was 29 when I got my first actual genuine girlfriend and lost my virginity. 8 months into the relationship the friend I was living with had to move back home suddenly and I was left with the choice of moving back home myself, or the girl I was dating invited me to live with her. I knew it was generally a bad idea to move in like that so soon but, fuck it bros I had a GF! Worth the risk! We were together for about 2 years, had maybe one mild argument that whole time. I was genuinely HAPPY for the first and only time in my life. I was able to actually get out of bed without setting 20 alarms. I could smile though my shitty job knowing I was coming home to her. I gave up PORN without even realizing it! I didn't feel like a freak thrown out by society. One day I came home from work early to a unfamiliar car in the driveway and walked in on her fucking another dude. I thought stuff like that only happened in movies. She begged me to stay and I actually considered it. But I figured "Hey I popped that 'having a gf' cherry already I'm sure the next one will come easy!" Boy, was I wrong.Thats my only regret about the whole thing, not staying to try to make it work still. Its been 6 fucking years and I haven't even landed a single date. If I could go back I would have stayed with her, I'd rather be a cuck then a lonely faggot.
