I’m having a REALLY hard time lately. My depression is SO bad and my anxiety is the same. I’m in a relationship with an amazing man who genuinely loves me, but lately he’s been saying I’m driving him crazy with all my emotional issues. He is literally all I have. If I screw up this relationship and lose him, that will be the end of my life. I don’t know if part of him is keeping me because he knows what I plan to do if I lose him. The biggest thing is that I really don’t know how to make this depression stop, or at least chill out. I’m so depressed all the time. I’m on meds, my doc just added a new one I started today. I hate myself so much for being this way. I really would like some answers as to what I did to deserve this “life”. I don’t expect anyone to have any answers. I just don’t really have anyone to talk to. So I thought I’d tell you all.

      @Marvel360 I feel exactly the same way about my relationship with God. I talk to Him all day long, and cling tightly to Him when my depression & anxiety flares up. He gives me more comfort, peace & happiness than anything that I have ever been prescribed. I couldn't get through each day without the Lord. ♥️✝️🙏

      @JBug7677 I'm praying your new meds work for you. I pray to God and ask him to help me. I ask my family to pray for me too when I go through one of my "spells" as I like to call them. I'm also on Lexapro which seems to even me out most of the time. I will keep you in my prayers. 😊❤much love to you

      Hope new meds work for you, keep trying. Find new therapist. Journal everyday. Talk to the Creator about the care's of your life. I take my meds, walk in obedience to the Creator, pray about what's on my heart and ask for direction. I wouldn't trade this core relationship for the world 🌍 May you find peace that surpasses all understanding. I hope didn't offend anyone. Just sharing what works for me. Love ♥️ and Peace 🕊️

      Have you tried therapy? It can feel a little shitty, like you're paying someone to listen to you, but I do think it can help if you have a well matched therapist. Might also help your partner to know you're trying things.

        @hurtstotouchfire my doctors office has 2 therapists. I used to see one of them til I got too sensitive to something she said. I’ve seen the other one once…didn’t like her attitude at all (“you have so many good things in your life, what do you have to be so depressed about?”)

          @JBug7677 ugh, yeah that is the downside with therapists -- they're just people and they can be shitty or not understand you. I've had some good experiences with online therapy, if for no other reason than that it's easier to try several different therapists if I don't have to leave my house every time...
