I think I might be depressed, the last week I've been crying for no reason, feeling uninterested in some stuff, and not feeling happy as often... nothing moves me, and I feel like I have no feelings whatsoever... like I'm numb inside, or that my feelings are asleep... I'm like blah about everything...
I didn't really care until it started affecting my relationship with my BF... he's perfect for me, and if he can't make me happy no one else can. There's nothing wrong about him... but sometimes, although I know I love him, i don't feel the love like I did a couple of weeks ago. However when I get to feel happy, I feel the love very strongly...
Can the depressive state in which I am right now be the cause of me not feeling as much love for my BF?? Or am I really starting to love him less? HELP! I wouldn't want to love him less, because he's so great... I'm confused because negative thoughts are all over....
Thanks everyone!

Yes it can, depression can do a lot of things to your body and make you feel numb and unexpected pain... If somethings bothering you try to get your mind off of things and get some excersice... Number 1 way to fight depression is excersie and its free :) Omega 3 also helps as a suppliment...
Support group for Anxiety/Depression Disorders http://www.paxilprogress.org/ by far the best one out there!

It does sound as though you are depressed, although only a professional could tell you how much and if you need medication.
Can you talk to your BF about how you're feeling? He's probably noticed your change of mood anyway, so involve him. It does NOT sound to me like you are falling out of love, rather that you are feeling quite blue. It normal to go through periods like that, but how long they last and how severe they become are determiners of whether or not you should try medication. Having 'the blues' for too long can actually lead to a chemical imbalance which is when medication becomes indicated.
Perhaps there has been a lot going on lately with the holidays, poor weather, general stress, etc.. and your mind just needs a break.
Good luck and I hope you are able to talk to someone in person about this :-)

Yes depression does make you feel like you are unable to love. See a doctor or a counsellor and try to ascertain the cause of the depression. You may need to take medication to help overcome this period for you, however a lot of people don't like to medicate themselves. Also, try to reassure your boyfriend often that he is not the cause and that you love him as you need him to be very supportive during this time. Good luck with overcoming this bad time of your life.

It does sound like depression and the best recommendation I can make is to see a doctor. A family practicioner should be able to refer you to the right specialist.
Depression is treatable. Tell your boy friend about your concerns and let him give you the help and support you need.
Good luck and God bless. It will get better. You may have some bad days ahead, but beyond them will be better days.

Yes, depression can most certainly make you feel like you're unable to love, even if you do care very deeply for some people.
More seriously, it makes you want to alienate yourself from everyone you're close to.
Tell your boyfriend you've been feeling depressed lately. Tell him it's not his fault. See a therapist (with him, maybe?).
Good luck. Feel better.

I'm not an expert but people who are depressed feel bad about themselves.
If you have bad feelings about yourself, how can you expect someone else to love you?
But then again, I am not an expert.
