Depressed_Confused Posted January 9, 2006 Posted January 9, 2006 Hi all, I'm 24 and have been with my girlfriend for a 4 years. We're probably best friends and can spend 24 hours a day with each other without too any problems. We've had our bad spells and almost broke up around 6 months ago, but the last 6 months have been excellent. Back in November I was sacked from work (it went down as resigned but I was pushed out) and then got another job which started last week. I knew before xmas and new year that I had a job to go to after the festive period and we had a good time together. Having started work last week (getting up early for the first time for 5 weeks) I started to feel a bit low. I would class them as January blues only multiplied a couple of times because I'd been "on holiday" for so long. The stress of the new job has added to it and i've been feeling a bit down for the last few days. I have had minor depression in my past (i batttled through the am i gay or straight feeling as a teenager) and feel like that depression may just be starting to creep in again. Like last time, i'm suffering from numerous negative thoughts and my mind is occupied more on what can go wrong rather than what can go right, only this time, I have my GF and something I was so sure of less than a week ago, i am now confused about whether she is right for me. I am planning to try and see my old councelor in the next week or so but: For my sake, could someone answer the question - Can minor/mild depression affect the way you feel about a loved one ? Thanks DJ
