Chronic depression can wreck relationships—friends, family, coworkers, and especially romantic partners. But I don’t believe it’s inevitable that you end up alone.

In this video, I share the highest-conviction strategies I’ve learned (through a lot of trial and error) for building relationships that can survive depressive episodes—without turning your partner into your therapist or expecting people to read your mind.

You’ll learn:
Why disclosure matters (and how it protects your relationships)
What to say when you’re in an episode, not just “I have depression”
How depression creates a filter that distorts how you interpret people
Why relational anhedonia can make you feel detached from people you love
How to avoid making relationship decisions from a depressive state
Why appreciation of effort matters even when “nothing helps”
How prompts, reminders, and structure can keep connection alive

If you’re in the middle of a rough season: you’re not broken, and you’re not unlovable. Your brain is doing what depressed brains do. The goal is to build relationships that don’t collapse every time the weather changes.
