Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I have OCD, emetophobia, IBS and gerd so naturally I also suffer from Depression. I take 10mg of Citalopram a day (used to be 20mg) and most of the time I am ok. But at the moment I just can't shake this depression feeling.
I have a hospital appointment next week that I am worried about but I know that isn't it. I just feel unfulfilled in my job and life. I live with my boyfriend which is great and he talks about buying a place (we rent atm) but i'm not ready for that. I feel like I missed out on going out and seeing the world and having a life as I was so unwell with OCD as a teenager. But we are at a point in our relationship where everyone keeps telling us we should be getting married and buying a house.
I want those things too but wants to see the world first. This latest episode of depression hit when my boyfriend and I were talking about going to New York for the weekend. My dream is to go and see America (I'm from the UK) and I thought some of that dream was going to come true. He was up for it too but then he started panicing about money. It always comes down to money with him. He is always saying he doesn't have any even though he has some 20,000 in his savings account. He will never part with that money whether it be for a mortgage or anything else.
What is wrong with me, my job is ok (though it is leading to the career I want), I have a great family and a loving boyfriend who I live with. Why can't that be enough?

It may be enough to be happy about but your depression is telling you it is not. It is ok to have plans to travel it is just you can't throw away the baby with the bathwater when it doesn't work out.
Plan plans not results.
