My boyfriend and I just moved to a new state. We got our first apartment together (although we’ve been living together for almost 2 years) and we’re struggling to make ends meet. Most of the reason we are struggling is because I’ve developed crippling anxiety.
I feel depressed, tired and sick all the time which leads to me hardly ever being able to work. I beat myself up about it constantly and I think its leading me into an even deeper depression. I have no support here besides him and I feel like I’m crushing his soul with my constant negativity. I love him so much, I know he is the one I want to marry someday. But I feel like I am just going to ruin our relationship if I can’t get back on my feet soon. What do I do?
You need to go to a psychiatrist and find out. You might need medication to help with the depression or some sessions to help you work through. Please don’t wait and let it get worse. Would you let a broken leg go unchecked? You shouldn’t for a potential mental illness either. I call it that, because it’s stopping you from living a normal life.
