Frustrated
can being depressed ruin your chances at having a relationship? Can you have a normal relationship with depression? I want to have a real relationship that won't end faster than it started. A relationship that won't end with me thinking I'm worthless. I honestly don't know what love feels like. Can someone like me have that? Have a family? Be happy? Will I be forever alone?

Depression makes it difficult to have a "happy" relationship, if not impossible to.
What is a normal relationship when you have depression? With depression you can't have a happy normal relationship if that's what you mean.
If you want a real relationship that won't end faster than it started then have one with yourself.
If you want a healthy relationship with yourself you NEED to stop getting down on yourself, I know you treat others kindly, so treat yourself the exact same way as, with respect.
You honestly don't know what love feels like, so tell me, who is stopping you from loving yourself?
Can someone like you have love? I see no reason why not, the choice is yours.
Your happiness is your soul responsibility.
Will you be forever alone? Once you fall in love with yourself you will happily do so, that's not to say you will though.
Have a family? You are a BEAUTIFUL young lady whom one day will make a FABULOUS mother.
Thanks so much
I wouldn't recommend you have a relationship while depressed, you have a valid reason for being sad thus meaning you need professional help to overcome it. You will be happy one day, I can read it in the stars.
gentle hugs, you do have a lot to work thru right now before you think about getting involved in a relationship. i wouldn't if i were you. i wouldn't if i were me too : ) i'm working thru things before i consider that as an option.
once i feel good all by myself, you know? enjoy my time with myself, enjoy going and doing things that i have found out i like to do, have built my self esteem to a good level and i am not feeling like an empty place that needs another person to make me ok. once i get to that place, then i expect to be attractive to, and to be attracted to another whole person.
then, dating will be good and healthy : ) respect will be happening. give yourself time to build yourself. you have time. you are worth it!!
Thanks
