Munchroom - she started taking the meds months ago - got worse, and only just started to see some improvement in last month
trouble is, the improvements aren't exactly in my favour. As she becomes less anxious and less suicidal, she has become more fixated on seeing our relationship as a disaster. It couldn't be further from the truth! I can't make her see that it's not! She can't remember the good things and is fixed on problems, that when she explains - don't even exist/or she has got the wrong end of the stick! It's literally like talking to some one else who doesn't know me and has amnesia! I don't know how to handle this. I'm so lost, confused and sad
Zaf - remember that although you are suffering from debilitating depression, your difficult life events are and have been too difficult for
anyone to handle. Please don't confuse the fact that you have depression with what are utterly tragic events. I think you are coping as well as anyone could. As anyone without depression might. Sometimes one feels personally hopeless when infact no one could be expected to deal with the events you are facing. Of course I understand the knock on effects they have on depression, just don't beat yourself up any more than life already is is all I'm saying, quite clumsily actually.
