How should I tell my boyfriend I have depression?

You are under no obligation to, if you feel comfortable telling him then do, if not – your choice.

Tell him…hiding that fact will only hurt you in the long run.

Yes, I feel the same way. He knows something is very wrong, too. So I feel that hiding it from him would only hurt our relationship. I also completely trust him and there isn’t any reason I wouldn’t want him to know.

Hmm well…I have…well I don’t have depression I don’t think…yet….But my girlfriend does, and I’ve helped her greatly…I’ve…saved her life…And I’m proud of it and I’ll love her, no matter what. We’ve made a promise that we would always love each other. And I can tell you it hasn’t died down not one bit! But it’s good to be open with him. She was open with me and I found out later on by the scars on her arm… She hasn’t cut in a couple of months because of me…Please… tell him. He’ll know sooner or later…. You’ll have to.

Depression is not a fault, it happens…. if he truly loves you or likes you even, he will be there for you.

What @Cruiser said, my hiding my depression from so many people ruined many friendships and relationships simply because they didn’t understand what the hell was wrong with me while i was battling with myself whether to tell or not to tell someone.

I noticed you asked “How should you tell so he won’t blame himself and also so he won’t question how you can love him when you don’t love yourself?” Those are two different things. One is saying he might feel guilty for your depression, kinda chivalrous, the other sounds like he might be thinking more of himself? I could be wrong of course.

But anyway, what matters most is that you love him and you want to preserve your relationship so those who suggested you tell him are right. Relationships worth preserving are ones shared by friends and lovers who would always be there for each other no matter what.
