In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Remember that depression is a complex illness, and you can't control the way your boyfriend feels. It's natural to feel helpless or pain when you see him hurting. Still, you should not take what he's going through as a sign that you are lacking something, or that you aren't a great girlfriend. Strive to stick to your regular routine as much as possible, making sure that you are fulfilling your own responsibilities at work, school, or home. Also, set clear limits of what you can and cannot do for him. You may feel guilty, but, know that you are not responsible for making him feel better. Trying to do too much might jeopardize your own health and well-being. No matter how much you may love and care for your boyfriend, you alone cannot help him. Believing that you can "fix" him will only set you up for failure, and may even irritate your boyfriend if you are treating him like some sort of project. Aim to just be there, and offer your assistance and support wherever needed. Your boyfriend will have to overcome depression in his own time. Your boyfriend's depression is such a huge battle to fight that it may seem like he hardly has any energy to put into the relationship. Supporting him during this time may cause you to put your own emotions aside. This is hard for the both of you, and you need to seek support as well. Join a support group, maintain regular social activities with supportive friends, or talk to a counselor if you need to. It can be easy to spend so much time caring your boyfriend that you forget to care for yourself. Try not to neglect participating in activities that are enjoyable to you such as reading, spending time with friends, or taking a hot bath. And, don't feel guilty for taking time out for yourself. Remember, you won't be of any help to him, if you are neglecting yourself. Although you want to help your romantic partner as much as possible, sometimes depression may make it impossible to maintain the relationship. If your partner cannot relate to you in a healthy manner, the relationship just may not be feasible. This does not mean a depressed person cannot have a fulfilling relationship--many people dealing with depression do. However, depression can cause deep problems in a relationship. Remember: A boyfriend/girlfriend relationship is is not a marriage. As a girlfriend or boyfriend, you have a right to break it off if it is not working for you. You are not a bad person if you discontinue a relationship with a person who is not able at this point to offer much to you and especially not if it is not supporting you. It is important for you to know what you want out of a romantic relationship, and consider if you are getting what you need. It is not selfish to put yourself and your needs first. Especially as an independent adult, no one is patrolling your needs. You have to care for yourself before you care for others. Sometimes depression can make a person unable to maintain a romantic relationship. That is not a reflection on you, as the significant other, nor does it mean you are somehow deficient. Just loving someone does not mean you can necessarily overcome what can be a significant mental illness. Depression is not an excuse for abuse, manipulation, or other poor treatment. Depressed people are more prone to behaviors that are negative. However, if your significant other is not in control, that does not absolve him or her of responsibility. In fact, you may have to remove yourself from the situation to protect yourself. It is not your responsibility to manage his reaction to a break-up. A real fear after a break-up with a depressed boyfriend is that he will do something dramatic, including suicide. But you cannot control his actions. If you do have concerns that your ex may harm himself or others, get help. Do not allow yourself to be trapped in a relationship you fear to leave.
Summary: Don't take your boyfriend's depression personally. Acknowledge that you can't "fix" him, but you can support him. Find a support system. Practice daily self-care. Understand healthy relationship boundaries.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: You can make your own or buy a mask from the store. If you have long hair, pull it back so it doesn't get in the way. Avocado, honey, olive oil, coconut oil, and even egg whites can be used to make a hydrating mask right in your own home. Take this opportunity to savor a special treat that you've been saving. While chocolates or candies are probably the most popular bath-time indulgence, you can choose anything you'd like! It's probably best to avoid anything that might get crumbs in the bathwater, though. If you don't drink wine, choose something else! Sparkling water can feel special and there are tons of great flavors to choose from. Even coffee or tea can be enjoyable as long as it doesn't make you too hot. Bring along the book you've been meaning to read forever or grab a fun magazine the next time you're at the grocery store. Whatever you choose, enjoy taking some personal time to do something relaxing for yourself. Keep a towel nearby to dry off your hands so that the pages of the book or magazine don't get wet. Buy a scrub from the store or make your own at home. While you're in the tub, scoop out about 2 to 3 tablespoons (30 to 44mL) of the scrub and rub it over your arms and legs with a circular motion. Rinse off the scrub when you're finished. You can use body scrub at any stage during your bath, but if you don't like the idea of bathing in the rinsed-off scrub, just wait until you're about to get out to do this. Before you get into the bath, take a moment to pick out a clean towel from the cupboard and set it beside the tub. That way, you won't have to use an old, damp towel from your morning's shower. Consider having a special towel that only you use for your relaxing baths. This will keep the towel in great condition and it'll make your self-care time feel even more special.
Summary:
Give your skin some TLC with a face mask before you get in the tub. Enjoy a glass of wine and an indulgent snack while you soak. Read a good book or magazine for some indulgent me-time. Use a body scrub to exfoliate and soften your skin after a long day. Dry off after your bath with a clean, fluffy towel.
