Today, I told my boyfriend of nine months that depression runs in my family and I think the reason I've been flipping shit so much lately may be that I am depressed. Not five minutes later he decided a break would be "the best thing for us right now." FML

Today, I told to my girlfriend of 5 years that I'm depressed about having no friends, no job and a difficult family life. I told her that she's the one constant that keeps me going. She decided this was a good time to break up with me to "find" herself, since I was being so mopey. FML

Today, I had a mental breakdown. Many things have been going completely wrong in my life, and I finally decided to let my boyfriend know about it. After about an hour of explaining and pouring my heart out, his response was, "I think we were better off as friends." FML

Today, I was diagnosed with depression. My girlfriend's idea of consoling me was to break up with me because she can't date a "psycho". FML

Today, my boyfriend told me that his best friend of 10 years is giving him the silent treatment because he told her he's in a relationship. He's become a depressed wreck. When I asked him if he's secretly in love with her or something, he flipped a table over and told me to, "mind my own fucking business." FML

Today, my boyfriend called and asked me why I love him. I told him because he's always there for me and continues to put up with my bipolar disorder. He promptly said "not anymore" and hung up. FML

Today, I finally told my boyfriend that I’ve been dealing with depression, and apologized for my bad moods. I wrote him three kinda long-story-short messages telling him why. His response? “It’s alright” and continued playing Raft. I expected something more… empathic? Am I selfish? FML

Today, I was texting my friend. He has a history of depression, which we were talking about, and somehow, he turned the conversation to, "If we ever broke up, I would kill myself." I didn't even know we were even going out. FML

Well he's right. I mean, maybe you should figure out your mental health issues instead of worrying about a relationship anyways.

to be honest, i would probably break up with you too. maybe not five minutes later, but he's not obligated to be with you just because you're depressed.

I don't blame him. Who would want to date a psycho? Although I would have kicked you ass to the curb if your, as you called it, shit flipping went on for more than two days. Seriously life's too short to have to deal with shitty attitudes on a daily basis.

Depression is a real disorder, but a lot of people who have it think they have it but don't actually have it, that's why a lot of people are skeptical when it comes to depression.

YDI. Just because you're supposedly genetically preprogrammed to "flip shit" does not mean he has to put up with it.

YDI for not telling him right away. I broke up with a girl and she tried to guilt me into staying with her by saying she was depressed. And now she stalks me..

Ok, look, your "flipping shit" comment makes you sound like a crazy psycho bitch. You would be an idiot to stay with someone who is out of control. Its for one's own safety. Not to mention, I would not want that depression shit that runs in your family to be bred into my kids. You should take your defective gene trash & kill yourself.

First off, depression isnt a defective gene its a thought process. Like being happy, I could say happiness runs in my family that doesnt mean its a gene defect. ****. Second, you made it sound like a break is what you were asking for, and guess what? He gave it to you.
