Having trouble

This is my first time on this website. I am currently suffering from depression. I am seeing some one and I am on medication. The guy I have dated for the past 6 years of my life dumped me because he couldn't handle my "mood". I am currently living with him, so now I have to move in a weeks time. I think I have found a place to live, but the whole idea of moving is causing me to have anxiety attacks. Everything seems to be looking up, but I can't pull myself out of this negative mood. I can't stop crying, I can't sleep, and I can't eat. I feel so alone. I try talking to my friends, but no one really can understand what I am going through.

Hey Dallas,

Welcome to the board..

I know how difficult it is to move and the feelings that go along with it, not only is it a major life change but it is also so stressful.

I recently moved out of my house that I shared with my sister and neice and a roommate who was so not nice he was nasty to me and to put it bluntly without getting into the whole story again he caused me to have such horrible mood swings well he didnt make them happen but the situation sisnt help at all it hindered me from getting better...I moved out and moved in with my mom again it sucks living back at home, but within 2 days the people at work were talling me how much better my mood has become how I seem less stressed and I am focusing on getting better and focusing on improving my self esteem ans body image...

You will see how much better you feel once you are out of the living situation with your ex the freedom you will feel and how much the stress is relieved once you are on your own...

I was so sad just a year ago I wanted to die I cried everyday I used to cut I used to do alot of things tht were not good for me but in one year I have come a long way and I am starting to be proud of myself and you will see also that you will grow and become so proud of yourself just give it time nothing happens overtime...

I wish you the best of luck and I hope that you post often and let us know how you are doing, I hope I have been of some help to you.

Thank you so much for your insight. I truly appreciate your kind words. The move was hard, but I made it through with the help of friends. I have stopped the crying everyday. Again, thank you.

Lisa, I'm so glad you were able to get out of that painful relationship.
