Depression Treatment Care

Question by Dark Desire.: What makes a person suffering from depression push their loved ones away?
How strong can depression be? How harmful is it? For instance, does depression make your bf/gf want to break up with you over a stupid reason especially when they’re the one suffering depression? What makes them want to push you away and be alone? What makes them want to ignore you to consult their own feelings? Do they realize what they’re doing especially they’re the one in pain?

some family members may not understand how to deal w/ depression….i think listening and being of comfort is one of the greatest suggestions…and if a b/f or g/f can’t deal w/ it ..they were long looking for a way out..if they loved that person , why would you want to lose him or her.

I have been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder when i was 13 years old, i am actually 18 years old right now and i still live with my parents. Recently, i have been having some depression that started out as little and turn into manic depression now, i feel very depressed sometimes for no reason. I would be happy for an moment and then i would suddenly be all sad and feeling depressed all of a sudden. I don’t even have a girlfriend even though i always wanted one, it seems like no girls is intrested in me. Every year on my birthday i always make a wish that i could please have a girlfriend, but it never seems to come true. I look around and i see everyone has someone and i don’t, it hurts my heart a lot. I feel very sad and i think that it would be better if i wasn’t here on this earth. Would i be better of being dead ?? What do you think i should do of my depression that is caused from my bi-polar disorder ?? I tried every remedy at home but it is not working, my parents are afraid of me being put in a mental institution permanently. Can anyone please help me out ???

We’ve been together for a year, after 4 months he moved in with me as he lives 500 miles away. It was fine for a few weeks then he said he missed home, he went back and that killed me. Next day he calls and says he misses me too much and wants to come back, so i let him. Few weeks later he leaves again. He ignored me and tried to make himself hate me for 5 weeks then he contacted me saying he missed me and he can’t live without me, can’t stop thinking about me e.c.t. We’ve been together for a few weeks now and everything’s ok except he’s more uncaring. He said that WoW is more interesting than us atm and he only talks to me when it suits him. He called me last night, like normal telling me he missed me and loves me and all that. He did that everynight, just like a normal couple. Today he calls me telling me he can’t see us happening, i’m not moving there and he wont move here so it wont happen. He says he fallen out of love with me and still “wants to be friends” what is happening? He says he wants to spend his life with me and he’s totally obsessed with me and he’s broke my heart for the 4th time today. He said he’s not coming back this time but he won’t block me on msn or change his number like he did before because he still cares about me. When he gets extremely down and his pills are wearing off he calls me crying, tellin me he misses me and can’t wait to hold me, he was coming to see me in the next few days. Then he pushes me away to save himself from being hurt. I know it’s easy to say move on and i want to try but i love him so much.What would you do if the love of your life has this illness (Bi-polar and Manic Depression)? He’s getting councilling and said he’s becoming more independant and that’s why he doesnt need me now.
I love him so much and at times he says the same. I just don’t know if, for the past year, i’ve just been someone to help im through shit until he becomes a more independant person, now he’s more independant he says he doesn’t need me and doesn’t love me.
For the first 3 months it was perfect and when he’s in a good mood it’s perfect. It’s when he has a mood swing then he tells me he doesn’t love me. But i knew the him i fell for and sometimes he’s a completely different person.
PLus: He has been on medication through most of our relationship. He says it makes him heartless and blames that. I know i have to move on, he’s just the person i wanted to spend my life with, i wanted to look after him. He wanted to propose and stuff.

She has progressively become worse over the last 2 years since the baby was born. Her mum has been suffering from manic depression for the past 20 years or so. Do u think it could be hereditary? I am distraught. She has taken herself and the baby to her mother’s who is a manic depressive herself. How is that supposed to help with her post natal depression? My wife doesnt want to admit that she’s been having a problem and she has refused repetedly to go and see somebody with me or without me. She took my whole life away from me. We have just bought a house together and she left me on my own after 4.5 years together. She has also been distant from me sexually for more than a year now and every time I would try to make up with her she would tell me that I was doing it for the sex. It is awful! Men have feelings too u know! I went down on my knees asking her not to leave me but she did go anyway and very coldly. Now she’s texting me telling me to remember to eat and drink something and to look after myself. I feel helpless. My parents live in Greece nowadays and they had visited us recently to help us with the house with my dad suffering from cancer in its last stage. She left us back then too and left the baby to me and my mum for 5 days while she went and had a nice time with her family. She wasnt even here on my birthday or even text me. My parents are the only people who ever really helped us emotionally and financially and they didnt deserve that. What can I do? I also lost my job because of this. I am a strong man but this one has really hit me hard. I need people to give me their best advise possible. Men and women please.
