Depression Support Group

This is my first time on here...My boyfriend and I have been on a "break" or taking space for almost a week now and I am not handling it the way I want to. I can't eat...I think of him all day and night and in the morning when I wake up. I started seeing a therapist yesterday but I thought maybe I would try this during those times I am struggling on my own.

Welcome to the group!

I'm sorry to hear about you and your boyfriend. It will be okay. It really will. So do try and hang in there. And in the meantime- we're here for ya.

I'm usually on this site every day. So I apologize that I wasn't here for ya yesterday.

I'm glad you're seeing a therapist. And the loss in any type of relationship, takes time to grieve.

You take care. Try and find something to occupy your time. Go for a walk, play computer games, read a book, watch tv- just anything that will help brighten your day.

Hi...Thank you for replying. He and I talked about it this afternoon and were able to talk things out. We are going to stay togeter and work on things slowly. Thank you for responding.

I am having a hard time...He wants to take a break and not be together but still wanted to talk. I told him I can't have the emotional roller coaster of talking while apart. I was strong when I said that but every minute I am alone, I want to call him and my heart is breaking...I just want it to be back the way it was. I can't sleep through the whole night...I have never felt this way before from something like this.

WHAT A MORNING! I have woken up at peace with things this morning! This is the first time in several weeks and I feel strong right off the bat today. I hope everyone else is able to have what I have right now. PEACE TO ALL OF YOU!!!

That is great!!!!

It sounds like you're getting more self-emotional strength as each day comes. I'm happy for you!

I knew you were a strong girl.

Thanks for keeping us updated. Keep pluggin' away, taking it one day at a time.

Hi everyone...It's been a hard day so far. I have been up for 2 hours and couldn't even make it out of my bedroom. I woke up thinking of him and am struggling about this this morning. I don't even want to go to work today. Please help...

Oh honey.... I'm SO sorry I didn't see this post sooner. Please, if you ever want to talk- just send me a PM. I "try" to read and respond to those each day. I'm a group leader for the Fibro group, which has close to 600 members. So reading each and every post takes up most of my internet time.

Please know- I AM here for ya!

Are you doing better today?

I remember going thru a time with a boyfriend not so long ago that I can't remember it well. The thing is when it first happens, you are upset from the crap that took place, then when the days go by your mind plays interesting tricks on you and all the bad stuff seems to go away and all you remember is the good stuff. Kind of like the stages of grief. Then when you, or IF you get back together, the bad stuff is still there. Its a roller coaster, We went back and forth so many times. All I needed was a song or a glass of wine and I softened and went back to him, only to have more bad stuff happen. You have to try and stay focused on what is the best thing for YOU.
