Pulling Out of Depression Posted: 11-01-07 07:34am
i am a 22 year old male
for a while now i believed that i wasnt
depressed,
but my girlfriend is fed up with me and a
previous job is not available anymore to
me, because i would sleep in and not
perform as expected,
i dont know where life is leading me and
that upsets me greatly,
i know what my qualities are, but i would
rather just waste it away,
i dont really indulge in any vices, such
as alcohol or drugs,
i am not a gamer
for a time i delved into pornography as an
escape, but it was short lived and i am
definitely out of that stage
i just sleep, or chill somewhere,
people have described me as extremely
emotional, and i could be really happy one
moment and depressed the next,
it hurt my girlfriend very much, when we
were dealing with an issue, and i sounded
like i only cared about myself and in
truth it was that way for some time,
she wants me to seek therapy, but i know
what i need to do, i just lack the
motivation to do it,
how can i show her and the people around
me that i am changing and making myself
better?
do i need therapy?
strangely, on the threat of breaking up, i
didnt get more depressed, it actually made
me commit more strongly to my
responsabilities, but i dont know how long
that will last, maybe that was just an
initial rush, and i will just crash later
let me know what you think,

but what do i do to show the people around
me,
they think its way more serious than i do,
and wnat me to seek professional help
i know what i want but no one believes me
i am glad my girlfriend is sticking with
me, but for how long,
i need to show her now
i understand what you mean though, and
thats the gameplan i am pursuing now,
thanks
