I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety and somehow I got it in my head that my boyfriend and I were going to break up like six months ago and I have just been coming up with so many reasons out of thin air to break it off with him. I obsess about it all of the time but the thing is I really really do not want to lose him. It feels like I might just trying to make myself miserable. Because I decide that deep down I might not want to be with him or something or that we should break up because something annoys me about him but then when I think about it all I want is for it not to be true and for me to stay with him. I just feel like there is another force pulling me away from him...Could I just be creating problems? Thats what it feels like but I dunno...On the off chance that I am not worrying or obsessing about it most stuff is fine and I am really happy. Am I just avoiding my true feelings or making myself miserable?
We have been together for a year and 4 months and everthing was fine before I got mono and saw my mom for the first time in three years with a kid that I did not know about...I have had anxiety and depression ever since. I am seventeen. This is my first serious relationship. I love him.
I guess what I am wondering is what can I do...is this my heart telling me to end my relationship? Or is it my head getting in the way of my happiness? Is it possible to deep down want to end it with someone but to really not want to on the surface? Am I just making myself worried over nothing...?How do you know when It is time to end a relationship?
the pulling force is your depression and during a bout of depression is not a time to make a serious decision like splitting with your boyfriend, especially without discussing it with him first. take some time with him, explain whats been happening and how he feels and see what you decide together. please remember though, when people suffer with depression, their ability to see things as they truly are, are inhibited....hence the depression.How do you know when It is time to end a relationship?
I have depression and anxiety also and you are going to keep feeling like that until you get it under control. you have to keep seeing the doctor and take all your med's before you will strat thinking straight again. remember it may take up to 6 weeks before some med's kick in.
Ever hear of that saying ';if you love someone let them go?'; well if your trying to sort things out in your own life you shouldn't bring someone else down because of your depression. Let him go and when you get your priorities in order start dating again.
Same thing happens in marriage also
But since u r ';married'; u dont tend to think about it much!!!
Try to do other things rather then thinking of your relationship, get your mind of the thoughts you have...do your hobbies - go watch a film, spend time with your family or friends, or anything which elevates your mood... Then take sometime for your own to think about the situation if you are still in love with him or not and how you thing your life will be without him...
if you are depressed and you break up with him - the first thing that happens is getting more depressed about the situation.. as you will start thinking that you took the wrong decision, that you lost someone you loved and you may start feeling lonely...
talk it with him, just say what you are feeling and what you think u need in your life to make you feel better or tell him what are the things which you don't like about him. I'm sure that if he really loves you and wants you he'll be there to help you... never break up with someone you love and care about, as someday when you see that everything is REALLY over you will definitely regret it... sometimes even just remembering that you have someone around you who care for you and loves you, makes you feel better...
Okay, this is probably really hard for you. I was diagnosed with depression as well and it really screws up relationships with other people. You love this guy and unless you really have a reason to break it off with him, you should stay with him. Don't let this disease take away someone who is near and dear to your heart. Having a good person around you, one that really cares for you...that's a step in the right direction.
People with depression tend to do this, they worry until they push every good person away in their life. Subconsiously, your depression is making you want to isolate yourself from others.
What you need to do is sit down and think of what you truly feel. If you feel as if you have fallen out of love, then so be it. That doesn't seem to be the case but I truly wish you happiness in your decision and I'll be thinking of you on my way to recovery as well.
