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.
My boyfriend of 7 years is moving out all while I was already having depression issues. I’m so confused if this is the right thing to do. We were engaged and who knows if we still are or aren’t. He said he doesn’t want to end things but I’m not sure. He caught me completely off guard when he proposed. He wanted to get married right away but I had doubts and personal issues I still need to sort out. I love him and miss feeling close to him but I’m also confused if he is the right person emotionally and supportively. I really don’t know if it’s the depression that makes me so indecisive or what. I’m seeing a therapist this week. It’s hard to keep those dark life altering thoughts away. There’s times when I feel like it’s the end. Then there are times I feel optimistic that he and I will find our way together after we have time to think on our own. The next moment, I feel optimistic that I will find happiness with someone else and actively seek someone. I think my first step is to find happiness within. I was making good strides in recent weeks but then this comes up and these emotions are completely ruining my hard work.
Any advice would be appreciated.
