im worried about my b/f... he hasnt been to work since last wed. and that not like him...... he went to doc to get a note for work ,,but still didnt go..... he has high blood pressure and the doc put him back on meds which he still hasnt gotten filled...... but alos he gave him klonopin... i asked when my b/f said he gave him klonopin why he gave him that and my b/f said that he made up a story saying hes been havin alot of anxiety since he hadnt been on blood pressure meds... at first is was like ok... maybe hes telling the truth that he was just making up the story about the anxiety... now im not so sure,... i think he might be falling into a depression or something..... just about all week he done nothing but sleep and yesterday all he did was lay in bed even if he wasnt sleepin.. only time he got up was to smoke a cigg or get something to drink ... he did get up and eat dinner but went straight back to bed.... i asked him was he feeling depressed and he said no.... but i get the feeling somethings wrong or going on.... hes had depression in the past so im getting the feeling that he might be getting depressed again.. i know hes not happy with his job... and im wonder if its taking a toll on him..... idk what to do... i try to talk to him and hes says hes fine... i just hate the idea that he might be depressed cause i know what its like and i dont want him to go through that...

I'm sorry I have no advice to offer. It seems you are doing all you can!

(((((((skittles))))))))) thinking of you and b/f. it does sound as though your assumption about depression is probably correct. i hope everything works out.

does your b/f know about your experience with depression? if he didn't know, it would help him open up, i think. if he does, he must feel ashamed about it as it affects his feelings of self-worth. maybe he just wants to deny it so he can feel better again quicker. or maybe he's got the belief that he should "snap out of it." could be a guy thing where guys are supposed to be tough and depressed guys are weak, which is not true. i'm not sure, i'm just thinking of ideas of why he may not be telling you the truth. what you're describing his behavior is unmistakably depression. gee, since you have that experience, i don't have any ideas to give you in trying to help him. must be hard knowing with your experience and seeing him go through it. i wish you the best in helping your b/f.
