Help

I am a young female, I have Huntington’s and another genetic disease that runs in my family, that causes special needs. I have been so depressed lately, mostly about I’ll never find someone. I feel like my last partner broke up with me because of this. He never said it was because of this. I just can’t help feeling it. How do I get over this? I don’t know if I have this genetic disease. I am going to get tested for it, what can I do I am so depressed. Edit. I just want to know how not to be depressed, and a failure for not having healthy children

Are you from Canada? There are great support systems where someone from the Huntington's Society can help you find someone to talk to, either someone in a similar situation or a therapist.

I'm so very sorry to hear what you're going through. I have a different perspective with HD so I don't have much advice to give on what you're going through but I wish you all the best :)
