Love: Today, I told my boyfriend of nine months that depression runs...

Today, I told my boyfriend of nine months that depression runs in my family and I think the reason I've been flipping shit so much lately may be that I am depressed. Not five minutes later he decided a break would be "the best thing for us right now." FML

Today, I told to my girlfriend of 5 years that I'm depressed about having no friends, no job and a difficult family life. I told her that she's the one constant that keeps me going. She decided this was a good time to break up with me to "find" herself, since I was being so mopey. FML

Today, I had a mental breakdown. Many things have been going completely wrong in my life, and I finally decided to let my boyfriend know about it. After about an hour of explaining and pouring my heart out, his response was, "I think we were better off as friends." FML

Today, my boyfriend told me that his best friend of 10 years is giving him the silent treatment because he told her he's in a relationship. He's become a depressed wreck. When I asked him if he's secretly in love with her or something, he flipped a table over and told me to, "mind my own fucking business." FML

Today, I finally told my boyfriend that I’ve been dealing with depression, and apologized for my bad moods. I wrote him three kinda long-story-short messages telling him why. His response? “It’s alright” and continued playing Raft. I expected something more… empathic? Am I selfish? FML

Today, I was texting my friend. He has a history of depression, which we were talking about, and somehow, he turned the conversation to, "If we ever broke up, I would kill myself." I didn't even know we were even going out. FML

Well he's right. I mean, maybe you should figure out your mental health issues instead of worrying about a relationship anyways.

to be honest, i would probably break up with you too. maybe not five minutes later, but he's not obligated to be with you just because you're depressed.

When I was going through depression my boyfriend ignored me and avoided me because he thought it would "help the situation"

being in a relationship with someone who has mental health issues is hard and can be very stressful. if he cant handle that you have no right to anchor him

Your depression and outbursts are not his responsibility. If you continue acting this way, you will push away and burden all partners you have. You must work on yourself and be accountable for your actions. The depression belongs to you, stop pretending your partner owns it instead of you alone.

Congrats to your boyfriend, I think he dodged a bullet there. Sounds like you have some serious issues. Depression is not hereditary, It doesn't run* in the family ... Are you so naive ?
