I don't know what is wrong with me. When I fall in love I get depressed, even in relationship. So every relationship fails eventually. I don't understand why I can't focus on that...why I am feeling like this. Do I need professional help? Please, if someone could clear this to me, because it is very confusing.

I guess that some underlying cause for your falling into depression lies in fact that depression keeps people so focused on selves, so they don't get outside themselves enough to be able to learn to love. The more you can focus on others the better you are going to do in love. Read your partner's need, and this is a very tough skill for people to learn in our narcissistic culture.
