Well, as a further update, things seem to be making steady progress towards recovery. She's seemed 'better,' inasmuch as she's not self-loathing and pulling away from me. She's been a lot more physical, in terms of affection, and her conversation has picked up. I really think the Zen has...

Oh come on. Seriously, with how horrible I was expecting this thing to be, this looks a WHOLE lot better than where my idea for shitasticism was set. Now, on the other hand, the new Terminator movie-- considering the cast and all-- I thought would be good, and THAT trailer did nothing but...

She seems to be doing a little bit better now, reading a bunch of Zen books and trying to incorporate those ideas into her everyday life. Additionally, she laid things out with her psychologist and her session went really well after that. She's been physically ill, but she seems like she's...

I'll quit if I feel like I should. I'm not ruling out that possibility. Good to know there's hope, and that it worked out for you. Here's hoping the same thing goes down here. For Christmas, I bought her the "Original Bootlegs" CD set by Tori Amos, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button...

What happened in your particular situation? And, in terms of this-- it's been going on for three months thus far. I expect it'll be going on another three, at the least, if her therapy progresses further. Here's hoping, and we'll see. I'll definitely keep everyone informed. Also, Sonnet...

No, what's regression therapy? Also, she has two cats of her own and I have a pet as well. I am a constant factor in her life, and she was absolutely amazing before this depression hit. She's been a fantastic boost in my life, and what was nice is that neither of us needed the other. It's...

In all seriousness, though, how are YOU handling it?

Ut oh, Porter. Do you live in Virginia? :P

Tonight was even worse. I'm getting near my breaking point.

Thank you. It means a lot (oddly enough).

My girlfriend is 25. I am 23. We've discussed the relationship, and there are some promising things based on what she's saying and has said in the past. Back before this hit, she was sure she loved me (and she hadn't loved another person). Even now, she has told me when I discussed it with...

Is there any way to really attempt to not let her negative moods affect me, though? Or her lack of caring? Has anyone in here ever been depressed and lost feelings for their S/O only to gain them back at a later date? I understand your position and appreciate the compassion. I know it's...

Yes. I'm sorry you were misdiagnosed. What helped YOU through your situation, and did you have a s/o? Did you start feeling more for him/her at some point? I know that, eventually, that may be the case-- but I think I can handle it. I think I can make it-- that's what I'm trying to find...

I hate to say you're not reading the responses above, so maybe you just missed it when I posted it. She's been going to a psychologist for awhile now. It's not really helping her. She's tried everything the psychologist has thrown her way. In fact, Yoga has been (by far) the most helpful...

I can say that my brother is a psychologist, and his diagnosis is Major Depressive Disorder. I can also say that she's been to three different psychologists over the course of her life. All three psychologists have diagnosed her with the same thing. These people are all PhDs. Can you say...
