I don't normally drink pop, but I had this when I was a kid and I had to give it another shot. 7/10
I (28m) spoke with a therapist for the first time yesterday. Something I should have done at least 14 years ago. She diagnosed me with severe depression being I've had suicidal ideologies off and on for the better part of 10 years. Being said she wants to get me on antidepressants, which I am unsure of utilizing. Physical activity and work seem to help me out, the time away from that and the loneliness is what gets to me the most.
I was recently in a relationship that kicked off this more recent bout of depression, I dated this woman for 8 months. Prior to then, I took an 8 year hiatus from the more intimate dating scene. She broke up with me because of our attachment types, she's avoidant, I'm dependent. She took into account that it was making my mental health worse and decided it would be best to end things. I feel far worse. It feels like I had an 8 year relationship absolutely crushed rather than an 8 month relationship. I think about her constantly, she gave me purpose in life.
