How bad is your depression? Are you getting help? How long have you been together ?

i’m not super depressed anymore because i’ve been working on myself, we would’ve been together for 7 months in a few days. i start therapy in 2 days which is great.

Call and talk to her?

Thanks for sharing, peanuts. She seems to care about you and that's wonderful! I just ended a 2 year relationship with my partner, who said she was committed to me, because she is incapable and unwilling to love me unconditionally and be supportive through my depression.

While I can understand ending your relationship because you may not want her to have to experience your depression, and how you may be trying to 'save' her or be selfless, it can actually be very selfish.

Have you asked her what she wants? Maybe she loves you no matter what and wants to be there for you, through it all.

I'm not being presumptuous, merely speaking from experience.

I think you owe your partner an honest conversation. A better idea might be a small break to get your therapy off the ground.
Or simply see each other less.

>>she’ll wait for me to get better,

May be a very long wait. It depends on YOU.


>>but i just regret breaking up with her

Then do what you have to do to get better. Probably medication and counseling/therapy.

she said she’ll wait for me until i’m better. she won’t get back with me until like 2 weeks at the least...what if she loses feelings by then? i start therapy tomorrow. i am working so hard to get better. i already feel better by doing online therapy.

You are well on your way. I don't see any reason why you two can't end up getting back together at some point. Just be good toeach other. Show each other how much you appreciate each other. You are working on yourself and are already making headway. Thats' great !

Thanks for sharing. It is certainly admirable of her to be willing to wait for you to work through things. It is important that you take care of yourself and work through these issues. It sounds like you are already taking some great steps in the right direction! Perhaps you could schedule a time to discuss your progress and the future of your relationship? or define some goals that should be met before getting back together? These things could provide some definition to your time apart and not leave it entirely open ended. Just a thought. Wishing you all the best as you continue your journey toward healing!
