Girlfriend left me because of depression

[Miguel Lopez]

My girlfriend left me because of depression and I asked her if there was any chance of us getting back together again once she’s okay and she said “yea maybe” but it’s so scary hearing that “maybe” idk what to do rn, cause I wanna be there for her. But i dont wanna come off selfish. And I’ve heard the quota of “if you love her, let her go and if she comes back, it was meant to be.” But what if she doesn’t come back. It’s been a week since the breakup and I’ve tried my best to act like nothing is wrong around her so she wouldn’t be stressed but now im stressed cause I don’t know what to do or how to handle this situation.

Hi Miguel,

If your girlfriend left you because she wants to put the work into overcoming her depression, it would be best to leave her to it.

If you keep getting in the way, it may make her start detesting you. This will worsen your chances of her ever wanting to date you again.

Give her space.

Start building more of your own life. Work on growing as a person.

In time, you may discover that you have a much better sense of self than you did when your girlfriend broke up with you.

Whether she comes back or not, you are still better off with a more robust sense of self than without.
