depression and dating what can you do if you or your partner is suffering from
depression dating a partner with depression or suffering from depressing
yourself doesn't mean that your love life is over but it does mean you need
to approach dating in a slightly different way first you should be aware
that love is a chemical cocktail now most people consciously want to base
the relationship on trust shared interests respect and perhaps even
emotional security the first throes of love can feel like a wild roller coaster
ride when you meet someone you want to date it's hard enough to navigate the
chemical changes that love brings you forea devastation hope lust jealousy
throwing all that into the chemical stew going on in your body when you're
depressed is like throwing gasoline on a fire unless you follow these 15 tips for
dating when you or a loved one is depressed let's start with tips for your
own depression 1 if you're a guy surround yourself with other guys before
trying to date a girl guys bond differently than women you don't have to
look deep into a guy's eyes and worry about making a good impression most guys
are happy to shoot the breeze about sports their families their jobs even
trade jock itch stories women expect a different kind of communication though
they love confidence in humor they also want someone to whom they can reveal
their deeper emotional selves when you wake up every morning practice good
mental hygiene you brush your teeth every day you take a shower but do you
ever check in with your thoughts first thing before you even roll out of bed
name three things that you're grateful for studies have shown that this
practice shifts your mindset into a more positive tone here's an example I'm
thankful for coffee Robert Downey jr. and making someone smile at the
drive-thru it's that simple after you've done this for many mornings
consecutively you'll start to notice that your day starts in a more positive
way and the effects of a positive mindset translates into everything you
do including your dating life tip number three is one of the best cures for
depression is staying occupied basically staying busy this makes it difficult for
your mind to ruminate on things that worry you or stress you out
if you've just gone through a breakup or a divorce and are trying to date again
but find yourself analyzing a relationship to death stop go on a date
with someone and do something active instead hike to a mountaintop and revel
at the breathtaking view ride your bikes to a local ice cream shop and share
scoop take a trip to a dude ranch or learn how to skydive just doing
something different will keep your mind occupied stave off depression and help
you bond with someone new tip number four is that depression can be lessened
by learning new things so find a new hobby to dig into learn to play a new
musical instrument or check out one of the millions of DIY projects available
on the Internet psychologically sometimes we get
depressed because our brains want to ruminate on past emotional traumas give
the brain something new to learn and heck
even try it with someone you want to date 5 make your bed when we're
depressed just getting out of bed can seem impossible if you just take the
effort to get up and make your bed with no other commitment for the day you may
find yourself thinking wow making my bed wasn't that hard maybe other things
aren't as difficult as I've imagined them to be this can build into a habit
that helps to reduce procrastination and also makes your home a neater more
welcoming space where possible dates would actually like to hang out so for
the other 4 tips on your own depression plus another 5 tips if someone you are
dating has depression check out the video I animated on health chronicles
