I've been depressed for about 4 years and on meds for 3. I've also had an eating disorder for the same amount of time, when depressed I eat. I haven't been able to have a proper relationship in the last 4 years because of my depression and anxiety, I keep pushing them away. Well I've been weaning off my meds for the last few months, and I've met a new guy who is now my boyfriend. He's the first guy I've met since I've been depressed that I feel comfortable with and who makes me truly happy. I feel like my depression is gone, and not only that but I don't overeat anymore, no more bingeing. I don't have the urge to binge or just eat like I used to. He bought me an Easter bunny last weekend and I didn't even eat it! It sat on top of my microwave until last night and we shared it.
I'm happy with this but also kind of upset that I hve to have a boyfriend to not be depressed. I'm worried it'll come right back if something would happen that we break up.
What do you guys think?
