I also have never heard of the lamictal reduction during the time of the month. I've been on it for 4 years now.

As far as the relationship goes and modeling by your parents, I can relate. My parents were always saving me from stuff and never really taught me good coping skills or relationship skills. The only thing they said about sex was don't do it because you might get pregnant.

If I look back at my life I believe I started having depression in 7th grade and I ended up missing a lot of school, etc. and running from situations to cope with my anxiety. My parents had their own issues to deal with as my mom was dealing with depression and my dad had bipolar so they allowed me to cope in this way. I'm 42 and with the help of a really good therapist am learning to cope and manage issues in a healthier way. Don't get me wrong, I still want to run away and hide a lot but I'm much better than I was.

I've only had two serious relationships in my life. One was with my ex-husband for 20 years and the 9 month relationship I'm in now. I don't have an issue with texting, etc., but my bf and I spend most of our time together. I will say that I do dive quickly into relationships though and tend to move quickly in them as well. I'd try your best to not text too much too. It sounds like you've laid off on it and it is working. Just my opinion but it could seem like you are too clingy if you do that too often and might push him away. Men like to chase women. If you are want to do it more because you have free time try your best to make plans with friends, go on walks, etc. to keep your mind off of the texting.
