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.
Mostly because I'm not dealing well with this most resent bout of depression. there's a nagging thought in my head that I should break up with him but I don't know if its my depression talking or if I'm actually having an issue with my boyfriend. Its been really bad the past few months. I wake up depressed, sleep as much as possible but I'm always tired, I bitch a lot at him (which leads to fights), I've been really struggling with my day to day responsibilities, like school, work and my pets. He helps out some but complains that I don't do enough around the house/animal chores - again, I don't know if he's being unfair or if I'm being unreasonable with my requests because I've been dealing with so much. I don't know :(
Can you believe he still expects me to give him money for non essentials. He knew he could not live on his own when he wanted to leave so tough cookies. He is not even my husband but my ex, and like I said we were just living together to keep a roof over both our heads. He also has a terrible gambling problem. He say the only time he fills alive is when he gambles. He has gambled my last three checks away and I did not know it until we started getting disconnect notices and were 3 months behind in the rent.
I am living with my daughter again. She just bought a new house with a room for me. I use to get paid for watching her kids but I told her I would do it for free and that would be my rent. He would pawn any thing of value in the house. I had to give my mothers ring to my daughter so he could not pawn that. I caught him trying. My daughter went and got my brand new computer out of pawn for me. It really got bad.
I am feeling much better, the situation depressed me very much.
