After 3 years of this guy trying to be with me, I decided to give him a chance. I love him and he makes me happy. he says hes in love with me, and he wants to be with me long term. i could see myself being with him for a long time. hes stuck with me since ive gained weight from an eating disorder, and just through all my emotional problems that i have and that he knows about and he still loves me. i believe hes the only person who truly loves me.
but i have really negative thoughts about myself and my appearance and so i hate being in out public. it gives me really bad anxiety to be around a lot of people and i hate it :/ i also have depression and i just wanna stay at home, talk to no one and just sleep and avoid everything all day. its been days since ive seen my boyfriend and i just come up with excuses to not see him. i feel bad about it but i dont want to tell him im depressed because i dont want him feeling as if he doesnt make me happy when he does. i just also have depression..
does anyone know how to deal with this?
thanks..

Hi, liftedshifted. I'd think the best thing to do is just be honest about your depression and anxiety, and try to explain how it affects your life. If you would be a long term couple, he's going to find out at some point, and I think it's better to discuss now, rather at some point down the road. Having love in your life is a great blessing. It would be sad to lose that. I wish you the best of luck.
