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'm still trying to break ties completely from a horrible on again off again relationship of 3 years. I changed my number thinking for the time being that would make it so he can't contact me anymore until I'm able to relocate. For whatever the reason the messages started going to my email. I stupidly responded. Was doing fine and not even tempted for once to give him another chance even though he's asking for it. Of course tonight it has to be back to yelling at me for what someone else is doing just because she's my best friend. I just want to be left alone and not yelled at anymore for things that aren't my fault. I it's can't understand why I'm always blamed and what I seem to be doing wrong.
In my case, I did eventually get the message, even though it took a while.
But I notice that you respond to his emails, and get yelled at (over email? phone? in person?) Point being we have to razz you a bit for still communicating with him.
That said, my ex would occasionally answer, and listen, but in a more placating or humoring way. She didn't engage in any of the misery talk. So it might work.
OK, my point is, it takes time, and if you don't want to hear from him, don't engage him.
