My ex ended things 1 mth ago having been together 8 mths on the basis that "her feelings had changed". She has a history of depression & also suffers from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/SAD.

In the mth prior to the split I notice her being very down. This had happened on 2 previous occasions. The 1st time, I asked if she was ok & she said she was unsure about us & then told me to ignore what she said as she had been "a bit down & it makes her irrational"

The 2nd time I notice her being very insular & I asked if she was ok. She again said she was unsure about us. We both got upset & she said she hated it when she was horrible to me and wanted to give me a chance to get out as she felt she "held me back". I told her I had never thought that.

I pressed her & she admitted she was depressed & went to her dr who gave her prozac & referred her for counselling. 1 wk later she said us was the cause & she wasn't depressed & didn't need counselling.

Is this depression??

Answer:

Uh, no way. Depression is a chemical imbalance in the brain. Sounds like she needs counselling and is too afraid to do so. You are the scapegoat sugar. Run and pray she gets help.

this is just a very mixed up person she needs to speak to a councillor

Odds are yes, she is depressed. If a dr gave her an anti-depressant she is feeling depressed.

I think you have done all you can in this relationship and need to only help her as a friend. Tell her to go to a counselor and just see what happens.
