Depression Understood Forums

hey everyone so this is my story

so me and my girl friend broke up, we have a kid together. After i got over being depressed the first time we ended up going back out. For now i have to live with her and were staying at her gandmothers. So after i fell back inlove with her now were broken up again and shes dating some new guy and keeps bring him over to rub it in. I feel like im slipping back in to my depression and don't know what to do anymore the only reason i was ok the first time is she started acting like she wanted to be with me again. Now i find out she really just played me. I love her with all my heart and it just hurts so much. To top it off my friends i keep trying to talk to just say its ok you will get over it and trying to get me to talk to there single friends. Any tips. It also sucks cause i moved with her away from everyone i know so i don't really have any friends where im at now

Your story certainly shows that you are in a difficult situation. I recommend that you develop a plan to take care of yourself. You need something to keep your mind entertained with tasks and hobbies. Find a counselor or consider the local DBSA Chapter.

I agree that in your current state, you aren't ready for a new relationship. However, if your friends have never been depressed, they are only trying to help.

Hi chanman. That's a crappy situation. I know what you mean about well-intentioned friends somehow increasing the pressure you're under. I'm sorry things are so tough for you. I guess moving back home would not be possible as you now have a child together, but you need a way of building a support network which doesn't make you feel worse. Would it help to ask your friends to stop playing match-maker as you're not ready yet?
