some of us need to be very strict with our diets. no junk food.

some things you might look into: sleep abnormalities (apnea),light-box therapy/seasonal affective disorder,5-HTP

good luck to you both.

As far as you know your the only one you respond to because your probably the only person to be dealing with her. She probably has no friends because they couldn't deal with the I need to talk to you now and you probably can't hang up on her, since she doesn't allow you to hang until your really stressed out and she sees your ready to snap.

She sounds like some one I meet and being a friend to. She has no friends because it really is difficult dealing with her. I'm surprised that you lasted has long as you did because your not suffering from mental illness.

I would suspect that she might be med resistant and if she is there is a therapy called Trans Cranial Magnetic Therapy. This program is recommended by psychotherapist after an evaluation. Tell her to ask her doctor about this. Also you need to realize that this will be a lot of years before she starts to get better.

I under stand the stress your going through but I hope I'm wrong but I fear that the worse isn't over yet. It always gets worse before it starts to get better. I'm talking of experience on my part and my friends part.

I wish you all the luck, you'll need it. Just like she needs a friend & all you can really do is listen and reassure her that it's not has bad as she thinks it is.

well dont try to fix her by yourself. if you are sure she needs help then tell her get help offer to stand by her while she does so long as it is something that works and so long as you and her remain a couple. dont stay with her out of pity. at least not as a bf.

once she does get help if she does then you might find some part of the treatment is something you can go to . even just a one session thing for the loved ones to come and learn more about how to deal with this all too.

i was in the depression group and my mom a nurse had some odd idea's about mental illness that were changed for the better wiith this one bring someone to group day.

she since died but that one day made a huge diffenence for me and i think her.

Just be you and assure her you love her for who she is. You just being there to listen should be enough. There's not much you can do until she has clarity
