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.
Hey all,
Boy its been like 5 years since I've been on here! I just needed to talk tonight I guess. I've been dating this great girl for 5 months, and I love her.
She's going to Florida next Friday for a week and its just the first time we are going to be apart so I'm a little down about it. Unfortunately with depression it doesn't take much to throw me in deep.
Probably wondering why I'm not going right? Well her real Father lives in Florida and he's paying for her and her sister and her sister's boyfriend to go down. He has said he'll bring me down next time which is pretty cool. I just think he didn't realize how serious it had gotten between us when he planned this months ago. So its not like she is running off to Florida, like see ya later lol, her Dad planned it which is really cool of him. I met him on Thanksgiving and we really got along great.
My girlfriend has actually told me she doesn't want to go because we will be apart, but I told her you need to go see your Dad. I'm totally cool with it because I trust her and she's really going down for her birthday to celebrate with her Dad which was on the 5th. So this weekend before she leaves we are going to celebrate.
It's still a tough thing to deal with, mainly I think because I've only had a couple girlfriends in the past and this is by far the most serious and I really love this girl beyond words.
I've also never flown so its kinda good I have more time to prepare myself for that for next time whenever that is. I just pray she stays safe and comes back to me, that's the worst part about it, worrying that she will be okay... :(
Any advice, kind words, or anybody that can relate please feel free to reply. I'd appreciate it greatly. :)

I invited Bill to have dinner with me last Sunday. He wasn't willing to drive 7 hours to mid Michigan and teased me with his beautiful ribs!!! So, of course I ate alone and had cedar salmon
I think you did exactly the right thing, making her feel comfortable going by herself.
Keep yourself busy this next week, the busier you are, the less you will be aware that she is gone.
And like you say, you still have that good by moment coming up!
U WILL MAKE IT OK......................
SHE'LL B BACK......................
GBU
DRENA B
;-O
I actually wrote a love note/letter in her birthday card I gave to her already. She loved it, that's a good idea.
I agree too Pepper, I'll definitely be on the PC/video games that week. I'm sure she'll call me often as well.
Yeah survivor, I surely didn't want to guilt her on this, no reason for it, and I'm not a jerk like that. I'll admit I'd be a bit upset if she was just going off to Florida without me, but like I said this really wasn't her planning and its for her birthday.
She's known her Dad a lot longer than me too lol. I think I'll be alright, the goodbye will be pretty tough, especially if she starts crying which she might...But I really need to man up I guess.
Thanks everyone, you guys rock.
We can't keep tabs on everyone we love 24/7. It will work out when she gets back.
Flying is nothing that is scary to me anymore...except a little bit of 911 fears come over me with these crazy people that want to kill everyone including themselves in air crashes....uggh...think that the whole 911 is not fear but inconvenience it has created in USA to be flying....must take off shoes and all ect ect ect...
I did fly two times since 911 on my honeymoon...we flew to Chicago...and home from Chicago....my exwife scared the hell out of bill by talking bomb in airport! NUTTY exwife scared me as had someone over heard her we both would have been detained....I sure do not want to ever be detained by TSA
