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

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.

Is Anyone Aware Of Being Mono-polar Instead Of Bi-polar?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

Bi-polar is specifically manic swings from highs to lows. I call it Mono-polar because it is different in that your mood swing goes from neutral to either a high or a low without the continued swing in the opposite direction. i.e. I don't get manic highs, but I experience manic lows of depression with my swing only going as far up as neutral or not caring; flat and emotionless. I am diagnosed as bi-polar because there isnt a listing for mono-polar but the mood swing down is usually manic.
