My boyfriend and I broke up recently. The thing is, he's my best friend in the whole world and pretty much the only person I can talk to. So when I'm really depressed, if I can't talk to him I can't talk to anyone. So we still talk, and I know he still cares about me. But I know my depression gets him down--it's probably part of the reason he broke up with me. I have other friends who care, but I'm just no good at talking to them about anything seriouis. I want to be friends with him--I can't live without him--but I don't want to keep making him suffer like this. I guess that's why I'm here. I need to build new relationships with people that I can talk to about my depression, so all the burden isn't just on my best friend.

Do you currently go to a therapist? Therapy can be very helpful. I hope everything gets better for you soon. Welcome to PC

I feel so bad for you .It happen to me too word for word the way you wrote it.. I know it hard but get some help and get on meds. If he loves you he will be there waiting for you. Its not right but people even the ones who love us the most have a hard time dealing with Depression .It takes time to understand it and learn to live with it on both ends .Good luck to you im sure it will work out .

I don't know what it's like to not be able to live without someone... so I can only offer my condolences and say that the person you should depend on is yourself.
