Today, I admitted to my boyfriend of three years that I have been suffering from depression for a while now. He took it as a good time to dump me. FML

Did he dump you because of the depression? Or because he was going to anyway? The former is a douche move and be glad to be rid of him. However if it's the latter he might well be going to support you through it as a friend, I can see why he might not want to prolong the relationship for such reasons but might find other ways to support you.

#58 Exactly. Depression isn't something you choose to have. You can't immediately think, "Hey, I'm not a starving child in Africa, therefore I have no reason to be depressed!" Depression appears out of nowhere, sometimes for no apparent reason...And it's not that easy to lessen the symptoms. You can't just "make it go away."

It seems to be that if she's been dealing with depression for a long while and he's been with her all that time, then breaking up with her now is a boner move. I'm sure she didn't just recently change her personality, so he's been dealing with it for a while. So he basically broke up with her because of a sudden realization on his part, not a change in behavior on her part.

Okay first of all, your stupid. Second, your ******* dumb. Depression is a real condition, which involves chemical inbalances I. The brain. These chemicals include serotonin and certain endorphins. Sure we all get sad sometimes, but depression is different. And when you say "your not looking at everything", your right, but that's because a person with depression can't. So stop being an idiot speaking of topics which you clearly know nothing about, Look it up and learn grammar dipshit.

Seriously, suck it up. No one likes being around someone who's depressed, and no one likes being depressed. I understand it's a medical condition, because I've had it. But you can fix it yourself! Don't rely on drugs and medication, just think about how life gets better and go out and do something you like to do! Get a new boyfriend and enjoy life, because you've only got one to live!

#68 I have mixed feelings about your comment. I'm not a fan of the "suck it up" part, seeing as how that's an unkind way to put things-- especially coming from someone who has dealt with depression. There are better ways to say that, you know. Someone rudely telling me to "suck it up" has never helped me with anything. The second part telling OP to make the best of things, to go out and do things she enjoys, and not to rely on medication is much more encouraging!

it's nice you want her to be all optimistic, but getting proffesional help is probably a better solution. you wouldn't want it to get any worse. plus 'sucking it up' is kinda hard to do when you just found out you've got a life changing disease. not everyone is prepared to deal with that and you should except that some people do need help.

Don't think you're really qualified to speak for people with depression if you're saying that you "had" it. Depression isn't like the flu; it doesn't go away after a little while and leave you alone. You can try and be more positive, but you'll still have depression for the rest of your life. I hate people like you who claim that you "fixed" your depression by being more positive, and thus it must be possible for everyone to "fix" their depression. Perhaps you just had a phase. But there are people out there seriously suffering.

you're better off without him. hard times unmask people, show their real character. Someone mature enough would take a stand and give support, not run away like a coward.
