dear Believe000, thanks for posting your comment, as I believe that people in either a gay or lesbian relationship have just as much trouble trying to overcome or seek help as those people in a hetersexual relationship do with depression, so it all balances out.
We have to look at any group of people, friends or even family, where there is always a pecking order.
The smartest or supposedly smartest just loves to dominant, take control of any discussion, because they have to be number one, and if somebody wants to challenge them by taking over, then number one starts throwing not so much abuse, or this could happen, but disparity remarks to this person who is challenging number him/her.
From what you have said is typical when someone tries to overcome their depression by themselves and I quote ' I got over them on my own... But not completely', because all the remaining symptoms are actually the problems that really need the most attention, and you won't be able to address these by yourself.
They are either hidden or you just don't know what they are, or perhaps too difficult to address, so there are doctors who bulk bill, so maybe if you ring the web chat or BB phone number they will help you.
Unless you do seek help, then you life will always have a yo-yo effect.
With regards to your partner you can only hide it for a limited time, but please you have to remember that if and when he finds out by himself, he will become annoyed that you couldn't trust him, plus it's also hiding your intimate details.
Let us know what you think. Geoff.
