> hi Tepi,

> 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.

You r so lukcy you found someone that accepts you even if you have problems like this.
Imagine if I told my second girl I take ADs, she will freak out I think. She left me before I told anything to here. I was thinking in telling here one day but now its over.
The first one know all my life and accepts like I am . What am I waiting for !!!!!! What happen with me. Im so stupid
