Never place blame on another before examining the self and seeking a professional to help work out the delimma. Couples need to stay together but our society doesn't want to work at anything they want it handed to them on a silver platter. Life isn't like that though it is a process not a gimme.View Thread

By all means though you and your boyfriend should not be living together while achieving the optimum level. There are too many swings in life alone and adding a relationship only adds more depressive posibilites.
You and your boyfriend should seek counseling. Meds alone are not the answer it is a combination of medication, monitoring, doctor intervention, and social activity are the anwer. Have you considered an in patient treatment facility where you can work on the depression issues? When You get out of the inpatient it is imparitive you follow up with out patient counseling.
Fix yourself first then let the relationship happen later. You have to be strong for you before being any help to another. You can do it though. Achieve not only personal satisfaction but also a relationship that is also satisfactory.
Love yourself enough to let your boyfriend know the problem before just opting out of the relationship though. If you don't you not only hurt Him but yourself because you may burn a bridge that was very stable.
Finally accept changes in life. People are ever changing creatures and it may be that your are no longer compatible but don't throw it all away before seeking professional therapy alone then together!View Thread

Death is an easy out but beware the cost. You don't come back from that journey. It is a permanent damnation not vacation. You need rest and possibly you can find that in a hospital. Don't let the stereo type of a psych ward scare you. It will strengthen you but give it time. SEEK HELP!View Thread
