hi Tepi,
nice to meet you :)I fell in love with my husband when I was 'healthy' and continued to love him during some severe depression this spring, but it was different. It was like I "knew" I loved him, but I didn't feel the love. Don't know if that makes sense. Then, when my stupid brain chemicals started to correct themselves, one of the first things I noticed was that I 'felt' the love. passion, and need, and longing, and lust. all the good stuff. It was amazing.
Don't give up on love just because you can't 'feel' it right now. You will know love, even when you can't experience it 100%. You do the best you can, and wish that your lover accepts that you may have some rough patches in your life.
I've been married for 5 years, and had 2 depressions during my relationship. and we're doing okay. better than okay, because making it through this is a sign of deep commitment.
