Unsure what to do

My best friend and I have liked each other for ages and we have finally managed to be single at the same time. My problem is we both have depression and I know I can be strong for him and not break down when he does but I don't know if he will be able to cope if I have a break down and I dont want to depress him. He also likes making everything all about him and he tends to do it when im depressed. What do I do?? Is there a way we can make this work or not??

to be honest, two depressed people can be an issue however, you both need to find healing, you must both remember that you can seek help together and also identify triggers and how to deal with them before getting into a relationship. i have depression and i would not want to date someone with the same condition as i feel we might wear each other out. however exceptions can be made where you both seek help and make a promise to lift each other up. depression is hard to deal with but manageable with a good support system. since you both have each other you can both be assured that you can lean on each other. seek help and see how it goes.. godlike
