just a rant

I was admitted to a psychiatric clinic for depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and an attempted CTB. I stayed for 18 days. When I left the clinic, my girlfriend broke up with me, which left me depressed again. I saw my psychiatrist today and will take another medication, hopefully it will work. I don't know how I'll get over and forget a four-year relationship. I still love her deeply. If anyone has any advice or tips, please let me know. I think I'll take time off work because I'm having trouble working.

I've never been in a relationship so I don't know what it feels like, but I feel like a good piece of advice might be to allow yourself to feel the pain, cry, and be down all you want without pretending to be okay. My dad and my best friend told me this; it helped a lot when my dog passed away, since I could be depressed all I wanted without having to face responsibilities like college or pretending to be okay. Maybe it'll help you with this topic.

My father passed away a year ago, and now it's just my mother and I. I'm in college and have a job. But I can't work because I feel so discouraged, unmotivated, and have body aches. My mother gets a little angry about this. But she said she's willing to help me because she realized my depression isn't just a whim. Yesterday, my girlfriend told me she didn't love me anymore, which broke me, but today I feel a little better.

I'm so sorry about your father; I can't imagine the pain. You could leave either university or your job, maybe one or both, but if they're not good for you, what's the point? Studying and working are difficult enough, and even more so with mental or physical health issues. I don't see leaving your job as a bad idea as long as it's for your own good. It's good that your mom understands; maybe she'll be a safe and understanding place for you. As for your girlfriend, I can't say anything other than wish you the best. I haven't been in a relationship, but it's the worst feeling in the world not to feel important to someone you thought you were important to because I've been there. I encourage you to try to move forward, but remember that you're free to make any decision you choose.
