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, I told my boyfriend of 9 months that I thought we should be seeing other people, probably that live closer to us since it is a long distance relationship. It was really hard for me to come out and say it, but I'm proud of myself for getting it out. Since then, things between us have been iffy. If I sign onto a messenger and it says he's online, I'll send him a message but it takes him FOREVER to say anything back. His online status never changes, however, which makes me think he just doesn't feel comfortable talking to me.
I told my mom that we sort of split (I say sort of because we're still actually quite mushy-gushy with each other) and she was saddened by the news. She too has grown to like him. He's a really sweet guy after all. But she asked me what made me want to call it off and I told her it was because I believe I'm young, I should be going out in the world and socializing like a normal 20 year old.
She agreed but then asked if I were on my period (I have PMDD) and I said yes. Then she went on about how I make irrational or just plain stupid decisions when I'm on my period. She brought up my fucking ex (someone I ditched around January) in the conversation saying that I broke up with him when I had a PMDD symptom explosion. So now I wonder... is it REALLY PMDD that's causing me to think like this or add to it or what? I feel so confused, anxious, depressed and a million other things...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Do I love him?
Is he good to me?
Do I want to stay with him?
Talk to the boyfriend, explain what you think is possibly going on.
Wishing you well on you decisions
That is actually a part of the process of developing a relationship, or not.
Also, it is relatively easy to get along in a long -distance relationship -- you don't have to put up with the things you do in someone's presence...the little things about them that drive you nuts....so, if you are really serious about this guy, don't make any final decsions until you've been around him in person for awhile.
He may seem like a completely different person when you're with him. And he probably will seem at least a little different than you thought.
