i've had problems with depression for many years, id say at least 10. i feel ashamed to say it but generally my bad periods are associated with a relationship that's having problems or ended. i'm what my mother likes to call a serial monogamist, ive been in steady relationships for all of my teenaged/adult life. i absolutely have more severe problems relating to my SO than otherwise, but the last few weeks ive been having a very difficult time dealing with the abortion as well, and i dont feel that i'm getting the support i need/deserve which i think has added a lot to the issue.
