Well, im going through a really rough time, and i have been for some time.
I suffer from major depression,(possible bipolar).
My life just seems to be getting worse.
I have been in a relationship for nearly 2 years, aand i just dont know what to do anymore. about a month ago i broke up with him, because we were arguing constantly and basically it was making my condition alot worse. Anyway 1 week ago he told me, he had missed me, he loves me etc.

so now its 1 week later, and hes back to his old self, treating me badly and the arguing is back. He said the other day that he wished he had never met me, and also said are you back on your mental pills yet?? I dont understand why he changes his mind every 2 seconds. I have no friends because of his jealousy.
What should i do?? i really need some support.

as much as you may love this guy je aint no good for you, you need support, i say get rid of him and find someone with the attitude to care.
Thats just my opinion but have been there so i know what its like and i know there is light at the end of the tunnel

Hi Laura, I'm sorry to hear your BF is being so insensitive. What you need at the moment is support, not criticism. Only you can decide if you want to stay in the relationship or not. Hope things improve for you soon

Honey, you're right, you do need (and deserve) some support, not cruelty from someone who is supposed to care. If that's the best he can offer, my best suggestion is to move on. Please do nothing on my advice, but consider and decide for yourself. Foe me, my depression needs no help from anyone, it's doing quite well on its own.

thanks for your advice. I do love him, or i wouldnt let him put me through all this rubbish. i have been through a few abusive relationships. Maybe i am better of on my own. I know i need to deal with my depression first, i need to get myself better, but its just so hard because i have no one to talk to, i just feel like ending it all lately. I feel like i have nothing left.

deleted_user 10/28/2007

i do not have much experience with boys but I hope you can find someone who treats you better:)

deleted_user 10/28/2007

I agree. I know you love him, but you cannot stay with someone who treats you like that, hun. It just makes the pain worse, and it can be soooo damn depressing. I know, because I have been there! You cannot be adding to your pain and misery. Please seriously think about why you love someone who treats the person he "loves" the way he is doing. I hope this didn't come accross as harsh, but I just can't stand that type of behaviour that is making the situation worse. Please forgive me if I offended you.

If he is treating you badly with in the week. And making yu feel terrible about yourself maybe it would be best to leave him. You need to say to yourself i deserve better then what he can give me. Good luck.

deleted_user 10/28/2007

believe it or not, i just got out of the same situation that you are in. this guy i was seeing would be sooo sweet then flip on me and call me insane..and then get jealous when i talked to other guys and flip on me and not speak to me. its a red flag for an abusive relationship. and i know you care for him, but the best thing to do is just try to get away...completely. which will be hard because its a control issue to him, and its gonna be painful but its for the best...no one deserves to be treated like that. hang in there, and if u need to talk , im always here for u!!! =)

The first thing you need to think about at the moment is your recovery. ANYTHING that gets in the way of this should be gotten rid of. Negativity is what we are all best at when it comes to ourselves, none of us need others to be negative for us. My advice (and that's all it is) would be get rid, he doesn't deserve you and you don't deserve to be treated that way. x

Thanks everyone for your advice. I am going to put myself first for the first time in my life and end it with him, i cant keep putting up with this rubbish.

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...
