As I just posted, I have trouble staying on the medication that works for my depression:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/20061212/msgs/714396.htmlI am in a new relationship right now and currently am not on a medication that is working. My doctor and I area having a lot of trouble finding something that works that I can tolerate. Unfortunately, this means that right now my depression and anxiety aren't fully under control.
I am crazy about this guy but my depression and anxiety are already causing us problems. If I don't fix this medication situation soon I'm afraid I might lose relationship with a really wonderful person. I have tried to explain the situation to him (he's struggled with depression himself) but since it's a new relationship he hasn't known me when my depression was more under control and I'm afraid he might give up on me.
What should I do? Please please do not say that it's not the "right time" for me to be in a relationship...it might never be the right time but I have finally met someone wonderful and I'm so afraid that my depression will mess things up. I have so many problems with low self esteem and insecurity, and these issues are much less prominent when my medication is working. My guy seems to really have a hard time dealing with my insecurity so I just don't know what to do. The depression isn't "me," it isn't who I am, but right now it's affecting my mood and my behavior, and therefore, the type of person I seem to be.

Welcome! And sorry if it's confusing here, but I'd like to redirect this thread to Psycho-Babble Relationships. Here's a link:
