Depression Community

I know it really hard but talking to your doctor is a good idea. Depression is really common and doctors have heard it ALL. So please get help and you deserve to live a happy life
Best hope and wishes:)

hello, BG --

your boyfriend doesn't sound as if he is giving you very much support in this difficult time for you. losing someone you loved is a sad thing, whether or not you are still with or still love that person, and your sorrow at the loss of your ex-husband is not about your boyfriend, it is about you.

why are you afraid to talk with a dr? if you secretly want someone to push you to go back to a dr, here we are -- not to be flippant, but we are a full-service operation. you should go back to a dr, BG. you already know this or you wouldn't have brought it up here.

you say flat-out that you need to go back on your meds, and if nothing else, you will have to see a dr for that. however, my suggestion is that you go to a psychiatrist for a meds evaluation rather than to your family dr, because psychiatrists usually know much more about psych meds than family drs do.

some sessions with a therapist might help you sort out your feelings about the death of your ex-husband, your anger about your boyfriend's reaction, and your confusion about your day-to-day problems. moving to a new place -- whether a new house or a new city -- involves many adjustments, not just physical ones but emotional ones as well, and, judging from my own personal experience, it takes more than a year to come to terms with some of those adjustments.

i send you caring thoughts and hope that you can get some rest tonight. please keep us posted on how you are doing.

Hi babygurl, it sure sounds like you are overwhelmed with so much going on. One thing is really clear and that is please take a deep breath and make an appointment to see a doctor for your depression. It's really important you talk to someone to help you sort out what you can do to get help, and what you can do to help yourself.

You said you were always hurting and your bf has never said sorry- what do you mean by this?

I hope you do go see a doctor but also pursue regular therapy. Therapy doesn't change your life situation BUT it can really help you find your own clarity and strength.

Right now you are so caught up in what he thinks and feels that you can't seem to see beyond that. Considering how he has treated you, please stop waiting around for HIM. Take care of YOU.

Him isolating you, etc., is all part of the abusive picture. I really encourage you to do some reading on abusive relationships; you will see yourselves in there and realize how he's treating you is not uncommon, nor is how you're reacting. The good news is you can change this.

FYI, it's likely he won't like you getting help. Why would he? He has exactly what he wants from you and he doesn't want you to become strong and change.

Please take steps to keep yourself safe as you get help. To that end, I encourage you to contact a domestic abuse hotline or a local women's shelter. That doesn't mean you'll have to go there but they can provide you with information and support so you can move forward safely.

dont know about that but ok ill do something thanks for the input talk to yall later

(((Babygurl)))

Small steps will get you where you need to be.

Dear one,

Please take at least one step to help yourself. You don't have to change your life in one fell swoop; just keep taking small steps. (Did you realize you already took one just by coming here?)

You can really only change yourself, not someone else.

feel lost alone scared just want to be held like i deserve im still at times acting like a child cause i didnt have a childhood i have no one helping me from day to day help in gidence half the time i forget where i am or i lose time it scares me to think i am losing it and no one around to help me threw it is hard thanks for listening ill let yall go now

This is why a good therapist may be just what you need. A good therapist will help you, guide you, support you. You do not have to do this alone but it's up to you to reach out for the help you need and deserve. Get the ball rolling and others will run with it.

I know you're scared, and I know you're alone. But it won't always be this way.

yeah i know still scared i get hipervenalation when i think about going out side or actually going out side freaks me out i feel alone cause i dont have suport at all right now it sucks i hate it well thanks again
