Light hearted question

Hi everyone, it's been a while since I've been able to get on here, I apologise if this is in the wrong place as well.


Okay, so I've been with my boyfriend for 6 months now. I was recently diagnosed with severe depression (though it's been obvious to people that I've had it for a few years) and he's put up with a lot of shit from over the past few months. I've been really irrational, I know that, but he's stuck with me and really supported me

It sounds stupid, but I'd like to give him something, just a token, to show how much I care. I'm not superficial enough to think a gift is gonna show that, cos it's blatently not, and it's gonna be individual to everyone - but I'd just like to surprise him, cos he's going through a rough time himself. Has anyone got any ideas? I want him to know much I appreciate him and love him, cos I don't always make him feel that I do.

Cheers

 

Think about what hes really into,

make it personal.

 

you could write him a poem.

 

Just telling him that would be really nice. Sometimes words are loud enough on their own.

 

most gifts just won't cut it unless you now a good hobby of his and can make something personel in the genre.

what i recomened is 2 things 1 is being more aware to your depression and trying to take it a level down with him or at least let him now that even when you are down he improves it by a bit.
2 for the gift part try organizing a romatic night(by his standards) a romantic dinner maybe a movie he erally likes and on some stage in the eveing tell him how much you appricate him

 

Thanks people

 

If you can cook,you could cook him his favorite meal(do the cleaning yourself).You could make it a candlelight dinner.
Pick out a special personal gift,something he'll really appreciate,get a card also,make it very personal by writing your thoughts on how much you love him,apprecite him and the support he gives you.
Most of all though try to not let the deppression get the best of you,so you're easier to deal with when it comes.When it gets bad you can remind him by saying something like-It's not you,I love you,I'm just having a tough time today.Let him know when you're going through bad deppression that it's the deppression and not him and you appreciate his support.He may already know that but he will really appreciate you telling him and it may bring you closer,helping him to understand you.I don't know if that would be really diificult for you but it's worth it,if you could try.
Good Luck,
J,
