Please help me

Hello,

I have been feeling very depressed for 3 months now. I moved out of home for the first time 3 months ago, which i had been looking forward to, but now I miss my old life very much. I have moved in with my boyfriend of 6 years. We used to be so close and happy together and now I am just miserable all the time. I am terrified of our relationship failing. I don't know what's wrong, but since the moment we moved in together I haven't felt close to him anymore or happy with him. I have this horrible empty feeling where i can't feel anything. We have the odd time together when things seem like they used to, but things have changed between us and I don't want our relationship to end, but I don't know how to make things better. I feel so tired all the time, i come home from work and do housework and then because i am so tired i go to bed early, whilst he stays up watching telly. We try and make an effort to spend quality time together at the weekend and go for a walk/shopping, but we don't have much money so can't afford to do much. I don't know how to make things better. I feel so depressed all the time...ca anybody offer me any advice?

I would recommend seeing a doctor. Just to make sure there is no medical problem causing the fatigue and depression. Maybe go back home and spend time with family and friends. It is normal to feel sad when leaving loved ones. Make sure you are eating healthy and do some time of exercise, both things can make someone feel depressed.
