I have a new boyfriend and we've been together for about four months. when i met him earlier this year i was hospitalized for depression suicidal thoughts and so on.
My question is do i tell him about me being sick? im starting to have the same things happen like before i went to the hospital and he notices something is wrong but does he need to know. i dont want him to run away because he thinks his gf is crazy :( and he's helped so much and now he has told me that he loved me what do i do??? i need some advice.

well if he loves you and you care for him, you need to be honest with him..Maybe this was Gods way (believe in Him or not) to send someone your way to help you threw. I would be honest with him so that he understands why you may act the way you will at times...Its always the best thing when being honest.

I think you should be honest. Just tell him you have some trouble with depression. You don't have to say "Hey, I was suicidal!". You can just say you have depression and that his love means alot to you.

I'm with Star9 on this one. He doesn't have to know everything right now just that you suffer with depression so if anything similar happens it won't be as big a shock

He would probalby appreciate knowing the truth, it might make the changes he is noticing more understandable.

However, disclosure is tricky business. If it is meant to be, the truth will out. Meaning, if you decide to tell, make sure you are strong enough to handle his reaction. Hopefully, he'll be all wonderful and supportive; but, on the offchance he isn't, are you strong enough to take that?

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
