call him.

step outside yourself and look within. when support from others isn't enough, look within yourself. what do you want your life to be? how are you going to get it? who do want to be? how are you going to become that person? no one else can fix your life but you. look within yourself. you'll find everything you need if you look hard enough.

don't hate yourself. I know where you're coming from. if you don't like something about yourself, change it. no it's not simple but you can. I've felt like such a burden to people at times, like I dragged them down until they couldn't deal with me anymore. but now i've worked really hard to learn to express how i feel to those who want to know but not drag them down in the process. it actually makes me a lot more happy because i have to force myself to make it sound like it's not such a big deal and then i don't see it as much of a big deal. i don't know if this makes any sense. thought i'd try.

wow everyone types fast. that was in response to like 10 posts ago.

Sometimes when we are depressed, it is hard to realize that the men in our lives think differently... men are geared to fix things... this is something they can't fix so it can overwelm them... I always had to remind myself that my bf was not my therapist.

Do you have a therapist? If not, perhaps get one.

i need a therapist, but i am afraid of the impression people may get from me needing to go. he will of course think i am crazier than ever.

they do!

that's so true. my boyfriend always tells me that hearing about my depression, etc. makes him feel so powerless and he hates it.

it doesnt matter what other people think.all that matters is that you feel alright and if that means you need to talk to a therapist then so be it. i thought the same but i went to counselling anyway and it helped.think of number one first

no1 has 2know ur going 2therapy.

how do you begin to even talk about all this stuff in therapy. it is easy on here, but face to face, i don't think i could do that.

he might feel relieved, like a burden off his shoulders if you pull in a professional... explain it to him in car terms, even backyard mechanics take some repairs into the shop.

you dont have to jump straight in and say all thats bothering you. i didnt.it gets easier.

personally if God gives me another partner, i will hide as much of this from him as i possibly can & when expressing myself i'll do it as casual as possible cuz this sickness is not steeling more people from me i'm barely escaping it as it is. honestly from what u've said, i think it's not over. i think he'll return 2u.

it aint so bad... the first 2 or 3 sessions are like idle chit chat so you get comfy enough to talk to the counsoler.

i heard his truck pull up about 10 minutes ago, it is still running, but he won't come in.
