:( really need a friend
So lately thing have been looking up back to work next week starting to feel better now all the sudden out of the blue my boyfriend of 2 years breaks up with me cause he dont want to deal with my depression now that im feeling better I hope the foggy feeling in my head still goes away and not come back cause I'm stressed :( and out of all days he broke up with me on a day that's already stessful for me I watched my grandpa dye from cancer 2 years ago I watched his last breath that was the hardest thing I ever watched I'm so stressed out trying to keep my mind occupied :(
Well, okay, the fact that the medication is helping is great! That will help too with the DR too. Try to not focus so much on how strange everything looks. When you go outside, sure you'll notice it, but then, try to put it out of your mind. If you have to, say to yourself..."ENOUGH! I'm not giving this all of my time and attention..I know the world around me has not changed, it is my perception from the anxiety"...then move on.
The less you think about it, the better. Sometimes you have to just get angry and basically blow it off. Take the power away. The more you say to yourself..."WHEN is this going to go away! I HATE this! I want to feel like myself again!"...the more it reinforces it.
You are doing everything right...just keep yourself as busy as possible, and start taking control of your thoughts a bit. Unfortunately, this takes some time. It won't be forever. Just hang in there.

The thing that really gets me mad the most is ill feel great think its better then the first step outside it all changes comes back to me :(
My boss said I'm not on the scedule next week but I'm on call but the following week I'm on I'm just so desperate to get this feeling away my meds I'm on does help I have no anxiety attacks sence I started taken them but other than that I just really wish the meds would help with the feeling of the derealization its so hard to do anything with it today I walked to the store it felt so weird and like time goes by so fast like it doesn't even feel like close to night time its 6:30 feels like it could b like 1:30
It's impossible to say...everyone is different. You may get rid of it in only a few weeks...or it may take longer. Just keep doing what you're doing. I think you're going to start noticing some significant improvements once you're back in the swing of things at work. You're going to be talking with your work friends and being busy. It will take you probably about a week to feel comfortable again at work. When do you go back?
I heard that a month 2 months more at the most do u think that's true I heard from a friend he said sence it was by drugs it would only last that much longer
You're doing great honey!!! Keep doing it...it WILL go away, it will just take some time. I know it's hard to be patient. Took mine a few months once I really started working at it.
Thank you I'm just trying so hard to overcome this I just wish it would go away my derealization its so hard to get through this I just want it to go away :( I've been doing yoga lots of meditation I feel better then once i go outside it all comes back to me :(
Your grieving over a lost relationship, everything you feel is normal.
Sounds like you were pretty dependent on him...so in some ways, and I know it doesn't seem so now, this will end up helping you in the long run. You need to learn how to count on YOU and not on someone else. I know it stinks, I know it's hard, and I so feel for you. Having a broken heart is awful. Been there, done that...a few times. :0(
Believe me when I say that there WILL be a day you will look back on this and say, "I can't believe how far I've come since then.". These life events make us stronger.
Call a friend, rent a movie or something...something funny and silly, to make you laugh. Don't feel bad about crying...you cry as much as you need to. It WILL get better...I promise you...I wouldn't mislead you sweetie.

I just can't stop thinking about him tears won't stop coming down unjustly want this depression to go away and for me to feel normal again like I used to were he still cared for me :(
Like we been through so much together I just wish he could help me through this to its so hard having him for 2 years being through so much together now he's not here all I did yesturday was lay in bed and cry I wish he could help me but ik I have friends and family and everyone on here helping me it does mean a lot to have people help me through this
I also lost partners because they could not handle my depression. I lost jobs for same reason, as I was off work too long with depression. I lost a house because I couldn't pay my mortgage because I wasn't working because of depression.
These things are sent to try us unfortunately. All above people are correct, if someone loves you enough, they will stick by you no matter what. My son has recently married a girl with depression. He is very understanding and supportive. That is the type of guy you need.
You go back to work when you are ready. Look after yourself. Try and find things you like to do to occupy you.
Take care

Honey...I'm sorry you are going though this. It's going to hurt no matter what you do. All break ups hurt.
Specialmom said somethigng that is really important...although it's hurtful to us...some people just CANNOT handle issues like depression and anxiety. It would be different if you were married, because in marriage, we take a vow to stick around, for good times, and bad, and in sickness and in health. Even though you may have been in a committed relationship, it's just not the same. When you get through it, you won't begrudge him anymore for doing what he did, it's just too much for some people. A,lso, like SM said...better to find out now than in another year. I lost a BF I loved dearly for the exact same reason...he just couldn't handle it anymore. For the longest time I hated him for deserting me in my time of need...but when I came through it, I realized I expected way too much from him...and he did as much for me as long as he could, until he had to make that choice, for his own health too. You'll feel the same way too. It takes time.
Keep yourself on track...getting back to work and staying busy will help a ton. It's normal to be very sad, you have to grieve the relationship, but don't takle your feelings as a worsening of your anxiety and depression...it's just a normal response to a loss.
Keep plugging along, as hard as it is. You were already reaping the benefits of positive thinking, and by putting forth effort to get better, you were feeling better, so you saw that it works.
Hang in there,.

I feel like I'm getting worse now can't stop thinking about if I never smoked I would still b with him and he would of loved me still :(
*it isnt fair* I mean
It is great that you are feeling better! Im sorry to hear about your grandfather. My grandfather died from pancreas cancer when I was 8. im also sorry to hear about your boyfriend. It is fair that he broke up with you for that. If somebody wants you, they should want you for who your and what you are, that includes your depression! If he was all that great, then he would of stuck by your side and been your shoulder to lean and cry on. He wasnt the one for yoh. Your still young, theres a lot of time to find the perfect one who will accept you for everything, depression and all! I hope you keep feeling better, take care!! *HUGS* dont let this cloud you over for too long! Good luck with work!
Thanks like I feel a little better like my mind and hearing is a lil foggy still but not as bad I hope when I start going to work again my anxiety starts up again cause if I'm not feeling good I won't want to go
Well, I'm glad you are heading back to work hon. That is great news and will definately occupy your mind. I'm also glad that you are starting to feel better. Some people are not able to stick by us through the hard times--- it is unfortunate but better to find out now than down the road.
