I think the main reason for my depression is my boyfriend. But I can't seem to bring myself to leave or take a break from him because I feel dependent. And I'm not proud about that... It makes me feel weak and helpless and I don't know what to do to be more independent. Anyways, he knows my anxiety and depression problems and he seems to care but then and goes an does things to make it worse. Lastnight he went out to a party and didn't tell me and when I found out I asked him to come home and he said no and through out the night ignored me and I see pictures and videos of him at the party with other girls while he's drunk... Not to mention he drove home. He says he's not going to stop going to party's without me and if I'm not ok with him going out he doesn't know if it will work out... So naturally this morning when we talked I caved into him... Like always. And I feel like if I keep caving he's going to think its ok.. Idk what to do.

Find out who you are and what you like. That will build your independence. Get friends and do things with them. Pretty soon you can leave him and not feel dependent.

It is a vicious circle - the more you feel dependent, the more you get depressed, and the more you get depressed, the more you feel dependent.
