Has anyone here gotten out of depression by falling in love?

    ^^ up there somewhere
    "if ur REALLY suffering from depression, then simply "love" will not pull you out just like that. love can HELP, but it cant cure severe depression!"

    If you're so totally suffering from depression and you convince yourself that love can't cure severe depression, you give yourself no reason to try.
    What the hell (xcuse the language) is the point of that?????
    And love isn't gonna magically "snap" you out of it either. you need to be able to let love in your life first. if you can do that, then you've helped yourself right there, by letting in something that you previously thought would never cure you. love is gonna ease you out of it, SLOWLY, not snap you out of it.

    Forever♥Yours

    *Oh! and the original question was...
    "Has anyone here gotten out of depression by falling in love?"
    Asking you if you have an experience with it.
    NOT asking why it will never work out.

    I am glad to see my post has sparked so much discussion. I am aware everyone may not have had the same expierence as me but i was curious about how many people did. I know it cured my depression because I did loose the person I love, he dumped me and I was devestated. I was extremley sad but I was happy to notice I was not depressed and there is a big difference between sadness and depression. Depression can be caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain and i happen to believe love put the chemicals back in my brain where they should be. Thats the only explanation I can come up with. I thank everyone for giving their opinion.

    I'm diagnosed with Manic Depression, and I stopped taking my meds after I started my relationship with my current boyfriend. I just don't need them anymore, I'm happy enough. Its been a long time since my last episode and I am feeling better than ever, so yes, love took me out of my depression.

    i think you all have the wrong idea about depression, it is never cured..its only ever managed. if you think love is gona make it all better then you need to get help. yes love can help you manage your depression but it never takes it away.get a grip guys you manage your depression not love or the person your in love with,maybe you should fall in love with yourself and start from there aye. well thats how i manage my depression, i love myself everyday for starters
