I know I feel like a leech here just taking advice rather than giving it, but i'm not a really socially-adept person.. so again im sorry..
Anyways I am on my second week of cymbalta. The first day I noticed a dramatic change with my irritability completely gone. I have no anger, I have no extreme mood swings like I did before. The only problem now is that I feel like I need to cry a lot more, and like its easier to cry(before I actually hurt myself to cause me to cry in emotional situations). I am getting closer to my boyfriend but he seems like he is getting more distant. I know it is just a relative feeling, because I feel so much different and he hasn't changed. I have hurt him in the past and he promised me that he would never be as close as he was in the beginning, and I sort of deserve it. (this is just a rant).. Main Question: I don't know whether I should be unmedicated and have irritability and anger, but not really care if my bf is distant avoiding that pain.. or taking the medications and feeling the pain of knowing him being distant and annoyed with me when I try to get closer. He has given me so much in the past and I have taken, so I don't know if he needs time to forgive me and me to prove he can trust me or if he will never forgive me and I should move on. We have talked and all he has said is he doesn't think he can ever get that close to me again.. And more than ever I need someone that will but I do not want to lose him because I love him..(another rant) |

Prada, i don't think i can tell you what you should do.. it sounds like a choice of evils? or should i say goods?
on one hand you might be closer with bf, on the other you could find easier peace... i think i would go with self-peace before something that satisfies another only because your own state of mind is central to everything you do.. but i guess you can find a level of peace either way... physical health may be more important than relationship health... i guess i would always suggest that putting anyone, bf or other before myself is a way of hurting us both in the end... |

It seems to me that no relationship can last if your mood disorders are not fixed. You may loose your bf anyway and still be sick. I think you should put your health above all.

Prada-is it perhaps your bf doesn't understand your mental health issues? There are mental health support groups for friends and family of people with mental health problems. I don't know you, but i'm guessing you deal with depression since your taking cymbalta. Just my thought for what it's worth
