In fact, it's about the same all the way around. "If only I were good enough, thin enough, pretty enough, a man would love me and then I would be perfectly happy instead of depressed."
Guess what? Right now, I'm no prettier, thinner, or better than I was when the depression was at its worst, and while a man would be nice, I hardly notice the lack. Well, that's not true, my libido is perfectly healthy, but it's not an overwhelming need to be with someone no matter what.
Besides, my cats keep me from levitating off the bed at night, which is the most important job in the world. Once they learn to take the trash out, I won't need a man at all...
