Can moving out be causing my depression?

Question

It's been 5 months since I've moved in with my boyfriend, and every so often I'd go over to my dad's house. Yesterday, my dad moved far away, and I've been really depressed. I've been crying all day. My dog had to go with him, so I miss him too. My dad and I are close but we're not so close as to call one another and say "I miss you".

Is this common? Will it go away soon? Should I let it all out to my boyfriend? If you can help, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.

Answer 1

yes, this is common it's like having someone in your family or a really close friend pass away at first it's really hard to cope with but only time can ease your pain.  Try talking to your boyfriend about it I'm sure he would understand.  I know your pain my dog had to go and live with my grandparents for about 3 or 4 months because of a really bad accident that could of had him put down I was always crying but time did ease my pain and I just tried thinking of all the good times I had with him.  He's coming back to live with me on Saturday again though  =]   good luck I wish you all the best.  You could call your dad each day and make sure every things going okay  

Answer 2

Its a phase youre going through.  Although its not easy to give up parental ties you have done so and good for you.  Let your boyfriend and dad know how you are feeling - that you are missing him and your dog.  You also need to think about your father's future and what is best for him at this time, it may just be that it is cheaper for him to move elsewhere and he may have more friends living closer to where he is right now.

yeah i think your depression comes from the separation of you and your family because you are use to being around with your family all the time. it will go away once you get use being on your own, with your boyfriend, may i add..

Step 1: Ensure your emotion is controlled daily. Don't over reacted, stay calm and don't get worry easily

Step 2: Think before your action. Don't repeat her past experience on herself. Remind herself from time to time.

Step 3: Be confident to yourselves. Remember everyone is the winner. "Only One sperms out of millions fertilize an egg"

Step 4: Get a group of close friends to share your experience and get some activities that would occupied your time

Step 5: Increase scope of life. Meaning that she should involve in more social activities like dancing, outing and others.

Step 6: Put a rubberband on the wrist. If there is a negative thought, Tighten the rubber band and release it. Hence the effect of the pain would be able to reduce the possibility of negative thought.

Good Luck.

Answer 5

Yes, bouts of depression can be brought on by any significant event in a person's life that causes them trauma or great upset. I'm sorry about the tough time you're going through. Try to talk to your boyfriend and see if he can make you feel any better....that's what he's there for. The feeling should start to subside, not to say you won't miss them any less. It will just get easier to deal with it all. Don't hesitate to call and tell him you miss him, though. I'm sure he'd appreciate it!

If the problem doesn't get any better, seek help from a counselor.

Good luck!

Answer 6

Yes, I went through the same exact thing when I moved out of my dad's house, and since your dad is now farther from you this can be extra difficult for you.  Even changes for the better can cause depression because of the environmental or situational shock.  Yes, talk to your boyfriend about it; mine helps me feel better (even if he doesn't know what to say), and yes, it will go away once you have adapted better to the situation.  Good luck:)

Answer 7

Changes like that in one's life can always be very scary. Changes in general day of life can cause depression. Doing what you are doing now by talking about it can definately help. There are also groups in many locations that deal with it as well. You are not alone! Time is healing. Best wishes to you.

Answer 8

What you are experiencing is a sense of loss, a form of grief and is a perfectly natural reaction to your father and your dog moving away.  You no longer have the option to drop by your Dad's familiar house to visit with him or your dog.  It is a common reaction and as you work your way through it, it will decrease in intensity.  Talking to your boyfriend about how much you miss your Dad and your dog should help you as a means to voice your feelings.  

And when you get your Dad's new phone number or address, call him or drop him a line to tell him that you miss him.  Open up the lines of communication between the two of you.  It will help you to be able to express your feelings to him directly too.
