In reply to Taking Effexor 150 .. depression or love?, posted by jeffb on June 26, 2001, at 22:59:34
I dont think that this person is causing the depression. My counsellor said that a major side effect of antdepressents is depression!!! I believe this. However, i think that this is true only when the depression is not inherent biologically.
HAve you tried a psychologist, or counsellor, even talking to this person you feel close to mihgt help, WHy are you feeling this way, I know that alot of times this just cannot be answered, but can you answer it.
How do you feel about keeping this anxiety and depression out of your growing relationship?
Do you think it will have a negative effect on the relatoinship if you were to tell this person?
These feelings are are huge part of your life, by not sharing them are you isolating yourself from others? I dont think everyone should know, ofcourse its purely selective at your own discretion. But maybe not talking about it with this person you love is facilitating the way you feel.
If you are worried or concerned about the response, its purely natural, i still think there is alot of stigma attatched to depression which can blur peoples understanding.
MAybe talk to a counsellor or a trusted friend, find out what is bothering you, look at what you feel, and try to understand it, let me know how things go if you can
