7 Relationship Promises That People With Anxiety And Depression Wish They Could Make
People with anxiety and depression love a little differently.
There are so many things I will have to say to my future husband on our wedding day. Most of them will probably revolve around silly memories we’ve made together and the love I’m going to promise him for the rest of his life. I’ll probably thank his family for making him the man he is, and cry when I talk about his endless support of every fleeting idea I have.
There are a few I would want to say, though, that only he would get. Things that only a person in the midst of loving someone with anxiety and depression would understand. He deserves to know all of the things I vow to him in those moments when I’m rattled by my mental health.
These are the wedding vow examples I wish I could say to my future husband about my anxiety and depression.
1. I promise to let your love be the shining beacon of hope when I’m in my darkest spot.
The spot that you and I know I retreat too when I’ve been beaten down by my mental health. I promise that you will be the reason I come back from there and your reminder of support will be the mantra I repeat till I’m back to me.
