Should Two People With Depression Enter Into A Relationship?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question đź’­

Recently my long term partner broke up with me because they no longer were in love with me. In a conversation they told me two people with depression should probably have never been together. Is this a cop out or is there some truth in this? I always believed because we both suffered at different times we would be the best people to support each other as we really understood what the other was going through.

For those of you who were initially diagnosed with "unipolar" or just Major depressive disorder and were later diagnosed with bipolar disorder, what were some of the main signs that you noticed that indicated you might have manic symptoms as well?
