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.
So today I was supposed to meet my boyfriend for dinner at 5 so I called him at 4 and asked him what was the plans. He said still getting dinner in a little while and I told him I was tired and wanted to take a nap first. Well it turns out I fell asleep and my phone didn't ring b/c of low battery and bad reception and he even came all the way over and I didn't hear the door banging over my a.c., waited at a bar nearby, and left. Finally I woke up, called, he didn't answer, listened to all his messages, heard what happened and felt TERRIBLE. I feel practicaly suicidal. Luckily he did eventually answer and heard how upset I am. Well, I don't get to see him now b/c he told me he has plans with his best friend who is usually out of town and I know this too will pass. I'm going for a run.
The thing is, we've been dating almost three months and sometimes in my journal I talk about wanting to break up with him. He is my age, 22, but I am graduated with a full time job. I like to drink and party but sometimes I feel like that is all we do, and like last night we were out until 2 and I'd rather not be out that late since I work fulltime, even though I had the day off. Also, I stayed and kept drinking, even though it is bad for my anxiety and IBS. Sometimes I think about breaking up with him but I feel like it would be hard to find someone I'm as compatible with and I do really like him, practically love. I usually discuss this with my female friends on here but tonight I've decided to open up and try to make more guy friends, in order to have another perspective

Have you thought about being you first, all by yourself? I just noticed the debate about breaking up connected to a fear of not finding anyone else compatible. Sometimes it is good to take time between relationships to just be comfy and happy in your own right before jumping into the next... by taking time to yourself you will know more what you want. Too many women screw up by finding a replacement before booting out the last and it ends up just as bad if not worse.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
