Hi all,
I wasn't sure whether to post this in setbacks or relationships...I guess it doesn't matter. I'm looking for a little support/advice. So, I finally found a med (cymbalta) a few weeks ago and had been feeling a lot better, after 2 years (!). My boyfriend of several years was here visiting me, everything was fine, and suddenly he lost his temper over something small. Long story short, he said he was frustrated with the long distance relationship (not the first time we've had this discussion), and I guess we broke up. Most of the time he is most supportive and helpful, esp. regarding my depression. Although I'm sad, I don't feel devastated - I mean, I do, but at the same time, I see this as an opportunity to concentrate on me, my school/career situation, and on getting better without spending the energy worrying about our relationship. And I don't know what will happen with us in the future - things will work out the way they should. But for the short term, I feel like this has set me back quite a bit. I want to get the optimism back that I had started to feel. I know the med. is working somewhat, since normally I think I would still be in bed over this, but I guess my question is, what do I do from here? How can I keep up the momentum of getting better? Thanks for any suggestions.
