Well, this is my first real post. So.

Over the past three years I have struggled with depression. My doctor think I am biologically predisposed to it. I have done well in suppressing my emotions, good and bad. But recently and event occurred that cause every emotion I had suppressed, in the past three years, to explode in my face, all at once. This was caused by a certain individual to come into my life. I feel protective and constantly worried about that person. It hurts to be apart, and it hurts to be near. I am confused. I...don't know how I feel about this person. This individual barely knows me, but because I am a very observant person, I know a lot about them. I need answers. Or at least advice. I came here because I am desperate.

Thank you,

Chase

I know you want more than hugs but they can't hurt and they are heartfelt.

I'm not good with words or advice but If I had your problems I would try to pour my heart out to my therapist. Lay it all on the table. Get it off of my chest. I hope you also find better advice here. There are some wonderful people here.

Take Care.

Pouring my heart out...not something that comes easily for me. I don't think I could do that. I hate emotional situations. Especially with my mother. My father doesn't really care anyway. I feel like I can't trust people.

Not sure if this will work for you but your doctors can not help you if you hide your feelings from them. I would print out this post and share it with your doctor, this works for me but not always others. Hugs for your day.

Hello, Chase!

Your therapist should be there to help you sort out your confusion. This could be an opportunity; if you present and, with the therapist's help, untangle your feelings about this person, it may offer significant insights into your depression as a whole.

I'm also not comfortable with emotional situations. Strong emotions can startle and frighten.

Peace

Does anyone know any coping techniques?
