Stupid Thing.. But Need Help =/ Posted: 06-27-06 08:31am
Well.. For starters I have to say this
may sound dumb but please read.. I got
off drugs awhile go.. My g/f and I just
got out of a fight about "trust".. My
life is fine besides this.. I have a
tendancy to be at home and just worry.. I
seem to get a weird depression from this..
Scared that I may get hurt as I did in my
last relationship.. My g/f says she has
never cheated and never would.. She also
got out of a bad relationship.. The scary
weird thing is.. They say the same things
but yet.. I still got played by my x..
Is it just me or should I be worrying?
Any others gone threw this and felt a
result? Help on "not being depressed"
over such things? Plz and thx, any advice
is wanted.

Your Depression Posted: 06-27-06 10:02am
Hiya,
first off can I say apart from everything
else that is going on in your life, you
should be proud to have kicked the drugs
aside, congratulations for having the
courage and sticking to it :) from what
I am reading, would I be right in thinking
that maybe your spells of depression might
be related to the absence of the drugs you
were using? A kind of withdrawl symptom
maybe? I know that if I am off the drink
for a day or two I get low really weird
feelings, but when I take a drink even if
its only a bottle of beer I "perk up". I
found getting out into the fresh air and
going for a short walk helps lift my
spirits and reduce my need for alcohol.
As with your relationship because you have
both been in bad ones before, maybe your
minds have been set to think that it will
always be that way no matter whoever else
you meet and start relationships with.
Obviously you and I know this is untrue as
there are decent trust worthy people, just
your sub conscience isn't letting you see
it that way. I guess its the age old
thing of having to sit down with your
partner and have a good old fashioned
talk. You'd be amazed how good it feels
to get things out in the open. Good luck
:)

How long have you been with your gf? And
how long has it been since the two of you
have been out of the bad past
relationships? Sometimes it's hard to
feel instant comfort after getting out of
a bad relationship. It is very important
to be open with eachother about everything
possible. Let eachother know what hurts
you and also let eachother know what makes
you feel good. To gain confidence in a
relationship it's impotant to make
eachother feel confident that your not out
to hurt eachother that you are there for
eachother to regain comforbility, trust
and security. Show it to her so that she
may show it in return. This does not have
to mean buy eachothers love do it with
words and actions because things that you
do and say last alot longer then
materialistic items. I hope I have been
of some help. One of my favorite quotes
are " love is everyting it's cut out to
be; it truly is worth fighting for, being
brave for and risking everything for" good
luck

Well, we gave been together for almost 2
months. I was with my bad relationship
for 11 months and got played with my
betsfriend whom is now someone ima someday
beat the caca out of. Its been about 6
months since i've been with my last. For
her, about the same. But how would I say
im not comfortable knowing these things?
My g/f is very.. She gets upset easily.
Like one time when I told her I couldn't
completely trust her yet, she cried,
ignored me, I would ask her what was
bothering her, she wouldn't even tell me,
how can I help a situation like that when
she won't tell me what I did wrong?
Yesterday she told me she couldn't really
trust me and now she expects me not to get
mad but she gets furious? what?? I just
don't know how I can tell her something
that is bothering me without her getting
mad :(

To possibly start a conversation like that
I would suggest saying something like
asking her "how do I gain your trust?"
then also explain to her what would gain
your trust for her. The other thing is,
is that you have to be open with
eachother. Just starting out (2 months)
you two shouldn't be having issues
pertaining to getting upset about being
open and honest. This time in your
relationship the two of you are still in
the midst of getting to know eachother
your likes and dislikes weather in the
relationship or just the basics like
foods, colors, sunset/sunrises ect... Try
to avoid getting upset about past
expieriences because if you think about it
we all have excess baggage that we carry
and the thing to think about when it comes
to the baggage it is going to be things
that you don't want to hear or the things
that you don't like to talk about but
releaseing the feelings that you have
allows for closure and also it gives the
two of you something to learn from. I say
it's a learning expierence because you
would not want to live the same mistakes
over again or even make the same mistakes
that her ex may have done to her. This is
also another way you could talk to her is
just tell her you want to learn about her
and educate her about you. I hope this
made sense and that it works for you if it
doesn't maybe I could suggest something
else. Good luck and let me know how it
goes!!!!
