Hi,
I've joined this last night as I've recently gone back on medication few months ago and last week had my dose put up too. I find people judge you when you say you suffer with depression and my partner doesn't understand so really I thought I need to find somewhere others know what it feels like and things.

 $£$Sorry to read you're back on meds again.  How are you feeling about them now?

I agree, people can be judgemental about mental health and very often, it's the nearest and dearest who have the most problems understanding.  Look out for an easy to read booklet that might help your partner to understand.

Pleased you found the Forum.... you'll get all the advice and support you'll ever need *()

Hello and welcome. Sorry I'm a bit late! As others have said, this is a good place to be yourself without fear of judgement. You can find understanding and support. Best wishes.

 "!+Lozzie... Feeling depressed is difficult enough, dealing with an unhappy relationship on top of it, must feel like a living nightmare.  Is there any chance you can get some space for yourself?  I'm sure many people with depression will agree that making huge life changing decisions, while in the middle of a depressive episode, perhaps isn't such a great idea.  In saying that, my first breakdown 14yrs ago, I unceremoniously kicked out my partner.  My only regret was how I behaved. 

Only you will know what's best.

Hope today goes okay

Thank you, he went bed at 8 last night so I stayed up till 11 and watched few of my favourite programmes on tv n just relaxed on my own in peace which felt lovely and talked to a few friends on line I haven't seen. I'm leaving him as I feel I'm not me any more n haven't been for year or more but the past few months feels like I now don't know who I am. I don't know if will regret it or not but I want to find me again xx

Hi Lozzie....  I can appreciate wanting ''me-time''.  My post earlier said I threw out a partner 14yrs ago when I had my first breakdown.  I remember feeling so suffocated.  I was only 35, but had been in 3 (or 2.5) long-term relationships for the previous 20yrs.  I knew I needed to be on my own.  Fourteen years later, and I'm still on my own.  I've been completely celibate and love every minute.  I can't imagine ever living with someone again.

You can only do what feels right for you... I hope it works out okay, either way.
