AL,
one of the constants around here seems to be an amazing ability to endure. Your situation reflects so many EXTERNAL stressors (moving, a new job, rough patch with beau)--those are all biggies. Then adding in the INTERNAL struggle of depression.....As I said, an amazing ability to endure. That may be why your parents and beau are so certain you will do well, because you always have before. My bet is they don't really understand how debilitating it is to FEEL the symptoms of depression, and live with the thoughts going on in our heads. It takes a *push* akin to the Phoenix rising to keep moving and striving in spite of it all.
If you want suggestions or help you've come to the right place.
I hope you'll keep in touch, and I'll send good thoughts in your direction. This is a great place to 'vent' and talk/write even if you're not asking for advice. If nothing else, you are among people who can understand and accept how bad all this crap can feel.
