Thread: Depression is hitting the relationship HARD

Since I've been diagnosed as "depressed" things in my life have their ups and downs. Therapy is slowly bringing the "real me" out. However, since I am depressed, my boyfriend has recently become depressed. His dad has cancer, but both of us being depressed is making it really hard to be cheery. On top of that his mom is starting to give me panic attacks. I say that because she doesn't keep her mouth shut. She talks and talks and talks and talks. And if you're not hanging on every word she says she gets upset.

She has affected my boyfriend sooo much that he doesn't even want to see her anymore. She constantly talks about herself, and doesn't even asks how we are doing. I'm getting to a point where I don't want to be anywhere near her. I know that my boyfriend is the one that has to work out these issues... but it's affecting me too. Because after he talks to her he's even more depressed and has panic attacks. And I don't know what to do or say at that point.
