I need time to myself, what should I do? Help!?

Question

I love my boyfriend. But I suffer from depression and I don't know who I am anymore. I'm so depressed that I can't feel any emotion and it's making me miserable and I can't feel any feelings for anyone at the minute, not even him. I want some time alone to work things out and work out who I am, but I'm scared I'll lose him and I don't want that. What should I do? Besides I have asked for time alone before and it has never helped because I miss him and always take him back after a day or so and don't like messing him around.

Answer 1

Ask him for a break, if he truly loves you, he would respect your wishes. Explain to him what you're going through so he's not in the dark and he won't feel confused. I was in the same situation as you are in now. It felt like everyone and everything was closing in on me. I took a break from everything- work, school, my boyfriend, and my friends for a few months. During those months, I was able to focus on myself. I had an experience during those months because I discovered who I really was. I never really knew myself. And I had extra time to handle the issues I was going through. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Taking care of yourself is more important than keeping a relationship going.  If your boyfriend doesn't wait for you, then he wasn't worth keeping anyway.
