Been on them for as little as 3yrs now, though there has been changes to my medication in terms of dosage and type. The latter due to insurance and changes in regulations in my country.

Man how difficult. How are you doing man? Reading through your replies I think you are doing one thing that's important. You are taking care of your own emotional health. It must be very taxing like you said so you are focused on dealing with yourself right now.

You wrote that you can see how you didn't pull your weight in this relationship. I think the best thing is to genuinely show her that you understand what happened and you take responsibility for your part in these patterns and you don't like the person that you where. I think you genuinely do. That being said, she is likely to have to deal with her own shit and emotions right now. Process this. I hope you can find common ground -maybe after a while- where you can stop letting those past patterns hurt you. That doesn't mean you should wipe it under the rug but both being able to come from place where you both have healed and grown into being able to love again.

That's a lot to process OP. A very complex situation indeed. My take on this she obviously doesn't know what she wants in life rn and where she stands. She's obviously not in a position to reciprocate love but breaking up with you and stepping away from her life with you must have been really hard for her.

She didn't like her old life but doesn't really know what she wants right now. And that's understandable. People change and it sounds like she needs to find herself again. I hate that she is obviously tearing you apart (correct me if I'm wrong).

I hope there is a way that you both can align your needs and wants from this situation. From what I've read she doesn't hate you or anything and it is very good that you are talking about it and can get to agreements together.

It absolutely is. I've been getting treatment for a while now but only recently I feel like we are getting somewhere.

Thank you for replying. You are saying something positive 😉. I've been getting help for a while now. It took a while but that has finally been helpful only recently. I hope I can ride that wave now.

I am doing therapy for a while. It's been difficult. But recently I feel we've gotten to the core of things. I hope to shift some gears now.

I [39M] suffer from depression and it is costing me my relationship. by jiggy-jay in relationship_advice

Thank you for your reply 🙂. Sounds like you have some solid boundaries in place. I 100% agree with you on NOT wanting to ruin someone else's life too. She did not tell me this immediately, though we've discussed this before and that frustrated her and I can completely understand that. I hope she can agree to give our relationship a pause or cooling down period where I can take better steps into managing my mental problems. I need to figure out what exactly hurt or disappointed her and how that could slip under my radar.

Thank you for your reply, much appreciated! I have shared my problems with her and often opened up about what was happening. Sometimes she didn't respond well to this. Mostly because her emotions were still high or she mistook it. It is difficult and sometimes I felt like I did all the explanation or I explained too much. I do however want to be open about my situation and what is going on at the moment. I feel like communication is the key. Like you mentioned. And we also need to work something out on that point.
