Moving, at least for awhile.

    Moving, at least for awhile.

    As many of you know I am battling depression. T-Bone and I are packing up and moving in with BF, I can't be alone here anymore. I am pulling out of school and taking an incomplete or drop, and will either return at some date or transfer there. Fairly new relationship, but we decided we want to be together instead of me moving back south. Worst comes to worst, I just move back south, haha. Doubt that, but please wish me luck. Being a worrier, I hope this is the right move. It feels right. T-Bone is gona be one happy dog with a buddy and a little boy!

    I do wish you luck. 

    Beejou
    It feels right.

    That's what is important at the moment.  Chin up...feel better, I know you will.  {{{hugs}}}

     You need to do what feels right to do at this moment. I really wish you the best of luck and hope it works out. Being alone and battling depression is far worse than having someone near by to battle it with.

    That you see it as a "battle" is a good thing so you are actively combating it.  You also realize you shouldn't be alone.  That's paramount.

    good luck and you have my good thots and prayers.  Don't be a stranger.  We care!

     To me, this move puts you on the winning side. Actively attempting to change things for the better!!

    ((((hugs))))

    Kudos to you!  As a fellow depressive I applaud your move.  Yay for you taking care of yourself & not letting depression win you over.  ((TIGHT HUGS))

    Battling depression is hard....its just hard to do something about it.. so to make a decision like this...I think you are fighting an uphill battle. Best of luck..... don't go away forever.

    Lucky you T-bone!!!!

    Hope you find your move one of renewal.  Some times fresh starts are the best thing.  Good luck and good vibes for happy days ahead for you and T-Bone,

    Wow, what a punch in the gut. BF reneged and says he needs time to think before such a big move. I'm heartbroken. Broken Heart

     

    Sick as my mom is, she's getting on a plane and coming until we figure out a plan. I'll probably move to Texas with her.

     

    Thanks for the support, everyone. I'll get through this, though I wasn't expecting the BS I got this morning (via text, no less. How caring.)

    Sorry to hear that he reneged. I hope that whatever happens, you find peace. I know how difficult it is to battle depression alone and you're fortunate to have your mom who is helping you even through her illness. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Just know you're not alone and that you're in all of our thoughts!! (((hugs)))

     ((hugs)) Sorry about BF. Have you talked to him about it yet? (since receiving the text)

    • Gold Top Dog

    No, he's still at work. I just texted him back I figured as much and that I'm not angry, just disappointed. I keep reminding myself it isn't me, it's an issue about custody with his son, but I can't help but feel like I've done something wrong or failed. I know that's my depression talking. Thank goodness for anti-anxiety meds.

    I'm really sorry that the plan is on hold right now, but as crummy as it feels, it's better that he was upfront about his feelings now instead of after you'd moved in. Hopefully, the 2 of you can have a good, long discussion and agree on something that works best for both of you and for your relationship. (((HUGS)))

    Sorry that he reneged. I know I've been throwing this out to everybody, but please google and read about "gluten and depression" Try going Gluten free for several weeks and see how you feel. I went Gluten free and Casein free (dairy) and my depression is GONE. Along with several other things. There were days when I cried non stop (even on medication), when I felt hopeless, joyless, angry. I feel a ton better now, and notice when I do get into gluten (wheat) how crabby I get and painful my body gets. Please look into this, I believe it can help. And also, (((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))) T-Bone, keep taking care of your momma. :)
