In reply to Re: Any advice on relationships during depression?, posted by Brenda on March 13, 2000, at 17:13:12
Robyn, I think the person that gave you the advice of not to make MAJOR decisions is good advice. I've suffered from depression since I was 16. I believe I have finally found the girl of my dreams, but at times when my depression gets worse, I just feel like escaping and getting away from the relationship. I've learned to push through on the these lean times and not make any rash decisions in those states.
Also, the feelings you may be having may be a product of the side effects of the medicine. I know when I've been on meds, especially SSRI the kind of meds your on. I've got the feeling on those that I didn't feel depression or despair, but I really didn't feel emotional at all. One of the medicines that did allow me to have emotion was Remeron, since it is a lot more specific in action. Plus this medicine works faster than typical anti-depressants. I found results in about a week. Well, good luck in what you decide....Brad
