We've been seeing each other for about a month and things are going well. We just became "official." He's remarkably well-adjusted with a very positive outlook on life. He's expressed a need for positivity in his relationships. I'm not exactly a pessimist, but I am a cynic and I do have clinical depression, for which I am not currently seeking treatment >.< The reasons for that are complicated.
Luckily, I've been in a decent place with regard to my depression for the last couple of months, but there are still hints of it, and I have never been able to keep it at bay for an extended period. He hasn't seen that side of me yet, and I have not disclosed my condition. I feel as though it's simply a matter of time before it rears its ugly head and ruins the relationship. I don't know how to circumvent this ruin.
ugh.
