Q: love advice relationship problem
asked by: roxy06 on September 18th, 2003

About a year ago I got out of a long relationship and after we split up I started feeling like I was worthless and I would just cry for no reason at all, and i'd also cut myself to i'd feel better. After a while I finally got over all that, and stoped crying all the time, although I would still cut myself whenever I was really upset or sad about something big that went wrong in my life. Recently i've started a new relationship and i'm very happy with the guy that im with, but I feel bad for him becuase im always depressed, crying or in a bad mood when im with him..What should I do

Hi. Juts want to say, I know exactly how u feel. I've recently come off anti-depressants and it's not very nice for yourself or your partner. The first thing u need 2 do is get help from your doctor-he or she will listen to u and maybe put u in touch with someone who u can talk to about the way you're feeling. Explain to ur boyfriend how you're feeling and if he's understanding, he'll help u through it.
Best of luck, hope u get through it x

Re: What Is My Problem ?
Roxy, I know what you are going through. Depression is a dam curse. I suffer depression and anxiety, have done most of my life. I am currently taking ciprimil which has helped me greatly, but it took a bit of persuasion to get me on them after a bad experience with aropax. They made me so sick I couldn't function. Maybe you need to try a few different anxiety treatments until you find one that suits you. Go see your doc, they can suggest something. Before I started taking ciprimil my husband was about to choke me. Everything is under control for now so I will stick with the ciprimil, I am even pregnant and under supervision by my doctor, and very happy. Good luck !!

Our ??(imperfections)??
Hi roxy, if ither one of us don't have a problem, then we would be perfect!! The circumstances let us know that we r human, so of course we r going to have problems. Remember u r not the only one suffering, there's always someone out here in this world, that's a lot worse off than u. I try my best to keep that thought in my head. Five or six months ago (i think) my memory isn't very well at all, I was in a deep, deep depression. It was so deep I started to crack ( that's my version). I was having hallucinations & I was hearing noices & voices n my head. I thought that I was having a taste of being schitzophrenic. It scared me very bad. 3 of those months were the worst ever. I was in the bed the majority of the time. I really don't see how my husband & children put up with me. U should realize that all humans have flaws. It all started when I was a child (the beatings & emotional abuse). In 1998 I had 2 large aneurysms clipped, now i'm disable, I try my best to keep my spirits up. I try my best to do all that I can do for myself. I try my best not to act the way I feel. It took me a long time to get to this point n my life. I have a loving husband & all 3 of my kids r n college. Mentally I am a disaster, but with the help of all my doctors, & therapists, i'll be okay until god the almighty let's me know where i'll end up!!!!!!! We need to do the best that we can for ourselves. I would love to write more, but my daughter always say that no one is going to sit down & read all that, & she says everytime I write, that I write to much at 1 time. Take care roxy
