my depression started over a year ago, due to relationship problems with my boyfriend. Got so bad I attempted suicide. Was on zoloft 4 a while,stopped taking it , and completely flipped out. Long story short, I have since been cut off from my family, I'm still with the guy who basically caused all of this, have lost all self esteem, I'm not myself anymore. Back on zoloft, its not helping. Still depressed, bad anxiety, and just hopeless. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

A realtionship that makes you sick is not a good one. I would work on reconnecting with your family. A good counselor can help you make sense of all this and learn from it. Things can get better.

Oh Sweetie,
I am so sorry you are feeling so bad, why are you still in a relationship with this person who caused so much grief? you need to break away from him. I agree with UC Dude you need to try and mend your relationship with your family. you need to get back on meds and go see a therapist or counselor because this is not going to fix itself. I know it's so easy for everyone to say leave your relationship as you probabley still love this person and are afraid to leave him...is this right?? I would love to talk to you more about this as I too was in a relationship with someone that brought on P/A as well as depression, I was with this person for 13 yrs I lost all my self esteem and thought that no one else would want me, anyways please email me if you would like to talk more in private. Please remember we are all here for you. and Welcome to Healing Well..Welcome to our home. Please be kind to yourself and take care.

I am so sorry you are having such a rough time. I agree with Annie and UCDude, this is not a healthy relatioship. It takes a lot of strength to get yourself out af a negative relattionship. It doesn't sound like you feel very stromg right now.
I DO think you should try and reconnect with your family and seek professional help.

This is a wonderful site filled with comapssionat, caring people who understand.

Please stay in touch, let us know how you're doing.

Hugs,

Thank you to everyone for your kind words. It's nice to know there is someone out there who cares. Reconnecting with my family is not an option. I live in a town where everyone knows everyone. After my suicide attempt my family pretty much wrote me off as crazy. According to them I have tarnished their reputation . I have been to counselors who all say the same thing, you need to get out of this relationship. I know this. But due to financial reasons and my mental state it's not possible right now.
