Dear Jack:

When we are depressed, new  people in our lives, new places, exciting experiences, these make us feel better temporarily (“When The relationship was forming, it calmed down, I didn’t need any meds and I was  kinda fine”), but the  depression returns sooner or later.

Your anxiety and depression were formed before you met her, in the  context  of your relationship with a parent/s. You didn’t talk about it  yet in therapy. Do you want to share  about it here?
