depression and relationships

If you don't feel up to going out, that is cool. Just know eventually he may go without you. In the future I mean. I have fibromyalgia and am tired a lot. I found out, life doesn't sit still for me. People want to do things, I tell them "go ahead". But sometimes I get lonely.

I think as long as you are being honest with him, that everything is cool. Just try to work on you, to get better, hopefully eventually you will feel better. Use coping skills, psychologist or a therapist to talk to. Get exercise, eat well. Vitamin D3 helps a lot this time of year. Days are getting shorter, people get depressed.

I hope things work out. One day at a time...

Hugs, Karen...

Thank you all for your advice.

Hi everyone- I am very new to this site and am just looking for hope. I have been on antidepressants for 1.5 years and 6 months on them I met a guy who I fell for and he has been so wonderful to me ever since. Everything was great for 6 months into our relationship when I felt my antidepressant working against me, really giving me doubts, fear, emptiness, numbness and feeling like I didnt love him anymore. Him and I discussed this and I decided after lots of research that antidepressants werent for me. I was prescribed them after a bad break up and I just dont want to be on them anymore. I feel like they are masking my real feelings. I am very doubtful now more than ever after tapering down over a month and being off them 2 months. People say my feelings are there I just need to let them show face slowly. This is hard. I am convinving myself he is just not good enough for me and should be without me. I dont ever want to hurt this wonderful loving person. He has never left my side. Please please help
