Question:How has your battle with depression affected your relationships?

Has going through the emotional and physical stresses of depression been able to bring you closer to anyone? Has it driven a wedge between you and friends or spouse?

Answer:

yes, my husband is worried about my health, and is more doting than usual. i find that my relationship with my mother is strained, as i cannot tolerate her "complaining" and woe is me POV - when I am trying to take care of me.
