Depression triggered by something I enjoy

Mawkish
Community Member

My depression is caused by someone I like or indulge in, even though I still consciously try to avoid that person when I'm away from them for a while. It's a cycle. It only comes back when I see the person, despite the fact that I love this person.

My depression case is really strange and abnormal as it's rather "contradictory".

Hi Mawkish,

Can I clarify - your depression is present when you see the person you love? Not sure if I'm correct in understanding - let me know.

If so, that sounds awfully hard. Do you know what about this person causes your depression?

Would love to help you out.
