I actually have depression too and he broke up with me because he had depression for a while and it got so bad he didn't leave his apartment or visit his family then he noticed that doing things helped so he left his apartment and went to a concert nearly every other day with random friends. He spend so much he was barely able to afford gas and wasn't able to buy me a birthday gift so just got me a card but that was ok.

He said he was trying his hardest to get through this and he had days where hed lay on me and cry. I know I was depressed too so maybe that brought him down because then he stopped coming over and stopped texting me. I got worried asked if he was okay he said he was I gave him time he didn't contact me.

I assumed that was a break up. It hurt a tremendous amount. It's been like two months now and some girl has a photo of her and him sat next to each other as her profile photo and I don't know who she is.

I'm lost because he genuinely had depression.even his mom was asking if he's taking his meds etc when we were together so how can the man i love who has depression be with someone else? How is that even sensible? He's a doctor, highly intelligent, very reserved so what gives?

    You weren't enough support for him.

    I realized that a lot of people who suffer from depression tend to be with people who also suffer from some sort of depression.
    Most likely due to everyone else not understanding and having someone who can relate feels good. This is not good though, people with depression need a mentally strong and healthy partner they can ask for emotional support. A person suffering from depression can't provide that.
