Dysthymia
When I am depressed, the tendency to let the dark side of my situation will fill into the relationship of us, my family and friends too. People who suffered from depression ni have higher levels of suffering the pain, anxiety and sadness. They will feel the relationship is less satisfactory and become unusually upset when problems in the relationship happen.
They more likely to blame their partners when things go wrong, and they tend to shut down emotionally instead of reach out and connect. Their partners, in turn, feel more emotionally burdened and distressed themselves.
Just as depression and relationship satisfaction are linked, so is anxiety and distress in the relationship. Being in a poorly functioning relationship may make you more susceptible to the experience of anxiety which, in turn, can lead relationship quality to worsen.
You might be a sunny optimist, happy and relaxed, but if your partner casts a negative light on your interactions, this will take its toll on your mood and relationship satisfaction.
Men who experience anxiety may seem to be more rejecting to their partners and because women are typically more sensitive to rejection, in turn, can cause them to question and doubt their relationship’s quality. I know you've been anxious when we were together but I accept you anyway.
This shows why it is hard for us to have a healthy relationship.
