Hi I am new at this so here we go. I have just recently been told by my doctor that he thinks I am depressed (I think so also) and he has me going to a psyciatrist but I cant get in until August 4. I am having a hard time with this. I have noticed that I am not as active with my boys anymore. And I am having a hard time telling my family, who is so worried about my sister who does not want there help.
And also telling my boyfriend who I love very much and just moved in with him a month ago. I can tell he is very stressed because I cant sleep so he does not sleep, I am so emotional and dont know how to control my moods. I want to be happy and I want to tell him I am depressed but since I also have anxiety I am afraid he will not love me anymore and will leave me. And I know this is not true because he has been by my side the whole time I was trying to get the right meds for my anxiety. But it is for sure not helping the relationship. Like I said he is stressed and wants to know why I am like this. So please help me try to figure out the best way to cope with this for a month. And how do I tell my boyfriend I am depressed and I dont try or mean to act this way???? Posted on 07/04/08, 09:07 am |

Seems like you are very emotional right now. I would not do anything rigth now just be gentel with yourself. Your relatiobship is very new and I would not make any decisions regarding telling your bf. I would ask him to just give you time to get your self calm. Are you taking anything to calm you down. I would suggest journaling. Write everything down that is bothering you but it in order of importance that way at least you get it out. Just be gentle with yourself

August 4 may seem like a long way away now but it'll come very quickly. If Your relationship is new - amanda says everything really. Keep in touch with Your doctor. If You're concerned about Your mood go to Your doctor sooner rather than later. xox

I have talked to my doctor and he has me on two meds. Welbutrin 2 times a day and Lorazapam as needed up to 2 times a day. We tried to up my welbutrin and a had a bad reaction so we decided to cut it back down and that is when he decided I should go to the other.
And I wanted to let you know I have not told him yet but I did tell him to be patient and he does understand and has been.I also have started the journal and it has helped some. So I will keep trying that thanks
