Hello,
My name is Joseph and I'm a college student living in Florida. Recently my girlfriend of 4 months hasn't been herself. Recently her sister has moved to Japan, her hometown hit by Hurricane Wilma and her mother broke her hip. She had mentioned after we met that she had suffered episodes of depression in 6th 8th and 10th grades and warned me but I didn’t care I loved her and that’s all that mattered to me. This last Tuesday she came to me and said she was breaking up with me which came as a shock but I persuaded her to still be friends with me and it was hard just to end it especially since we weren’t having any real problems. Wednesday night she wasn’t feeling well so I took her to the student health center Thursday morning they diagnosed her with depression and put her on medication. She didn’t tell me what they gave her until I took her to get it filled and then she burst into tears and told me that and she was afraid I would hate her. I told her I didn’t and that we can work through anything together. I left her Thursday night back at her room and she was going to speak with her parents but she seemed a bit happier. I met her today for lunch and she was almost like whining and couldn’t stop crying. After walking with her for an hour trying to get her to clam down and find out what was wrong I took her to the Counseling center and scheduled an emergency appointment with her psychiatrist because she was shaking and I was scared and didn’t know what to do. I waited and they called me in and the psychiatrist said my girlfriend had something to tell me and then she told me that seeing me made her sad and when ever I tried to make her laugh she would just cry. The Psychiatrist told me that it would be best for her if I had no contact with her and left her alone. And that is where I am a great relationship down to this in a week. I’m not sure what to think. Is it me? Is the psychiatrist nuts? My girlfriend didn’t seem happy to tell me what she did. I just said well if that’s what needs to be done then I love her enough to do that I kissed her on the forehead and left. That’s where I am now and I’m trying to learn all I can about depression. Sprry if I rambled.
