Are they afraid of women with depression even if they are on medication.

What? Now think about this......how is he going to know you have depression unless you tell him? And if you tell a guy on your first date (or second, third, etc.) that you have depression...THAT would turn me off. Why does anyone need to know? That's between you and your doctor. You're getting treated......so? If your treatment is not working, then you need to go back to your doctor and discuss other treatment options. And until you get your symptoms under control....you shouldn't be dating anyone. If you talk about your depression with people a lot, then that does suck the life out of them, too. That's why getting the right treatment is so important. Not being treated or on the right treatment not only effects you, it effects everyone around you.

As long as past thought are not involved but still can talk of some things and angeriness is down I knew I pull one girl up for awhile and we had a grand time when we paired-off but whearther I had also pushed her or not cause she'd never called even as friends and I am kicking my-self after seeing her last May that I hadn't visited her I just hope she is not in the hosptail as I did not tell her I'd be by anytime soon, & as friends and dating not to many do go back out with their ex friends but I believe it could of happen last May if I hadn't been waiting the result of another lady So hope this was an good enough answer!

Hi , first why do you tell anyone? Men get depressed just like we do. If after medication you are still depressed then you need to have it changed. They are several difference kinds and you need the right one. One kind is lacking sertona in the brain , Zyrtec is one for that and when I get depressed that's what I need. Talk to your Dr about it. Good luck to you.

I wouldn't think a man would want to date someone who acts all depressed, but if you've got it under control more or less then nobody needs to know about it on the first date. If you're dating someone and it looks like it's getting serious, then you could tell that person. You don't walk around wearing a billboard saying, "I'm depressed!"

Not most decent guys. I have a few of those problems, and the jerks had some issues, but the good guys (especially my bf now) ask how you are dealing with the depression and how it affects your life. If he uses is as an excuse not to see you, he's an ***! As long as you are upfront, but don't make it the first thing, you should be good. It is more on how it affects you that can scare them off, just be honest and don't make it a bigger deal than you want them to.

I guess it depends on your personality. If you are on meds and are okay, then it's probably not a problem. Or if you are already in a relationship and develop depression, I'd imagine your guy would want to stick by you and help you through. However, if you are depressed and just meeting guys, they're likely to stay away. I mean, would you want to date somebody is down all the time?

I wouldn't mind. Some depressed people are very nice. The big question is who will they finally end up being when the drugs and depression change? How do I know they will stay with me if they go through a radical personality change? Would I go out with them, sure. Would I marry one of them, not so sure?

I'll give you an example of a girl who is very close to me; she had an eating disorder, now she has bipolar disorder (manic-depressive illness) she's now on lithium. But she just got engaged to a guy who is willing to go through all of this stuff with her no matter what. People with mood disorders shouldn't let the illness take over their life and have their self-esteem plummet because they think that they are weak because of the disorder.

I don't like people that wear their problems on their sleeve! This is not info to share. Please do you realize you are more than your illness, more than your bank account , career, family. Share these details in the distant future after you've decided if this fun your having is worth getting more intimate. It would be like a guy saying to you when you first met him,"My feet stink, my arm pits sweat over my deordorant and my body ordor offends." Now do you want to date this man? Shouldn't he make an effort to shower alot and tell you maybe sometime later if he cared and wanted you to know!

We cant always chose the date we want . I think the best date would be a recovering depressive to date a depressed female. The winners might be too stressful for a date . They are so hard to please. I know for myself I prefer to find a loner female who is depressed to date. She is like a diamond in the sky to me.
