...as it kind of covers two categories.
Lately, I?ve been feeling depressed. I?m not quite sure what the reason is for it. It comes and goes over time. I?ve been to a therapist before, but was never diagnosed with depression. During these times, I usually keep to myself and kick back in front of the TV and make it a netflix night. This bothers me as it just spontaneously comes around, but I?m not sure that?s the case this time. A few things have happened that could have been the trigger for it. First is this girl I?ve been talking to. She and I have been talking for some time (we?ve known each other for 2 years) and our relationship has progressed pretty far (she has stated that she has fallen in love with me). However we don?t have a normal relationship by any means. We haven?t really spoken nor been face-to-face as she lives 1,400 miles away. This hasn?t really bothered me as I?m sort of an introvert and keep to myself.
Well, lately, I?ve been craving more of a connection with her, but have not gotten it. I have asked to talk to her, but she hates talking on the phone and prefers IM?s or texting (even e-mail is not high on her list). I?ve accepted this as part of her personality, but I still can?t help feeling alone even when talking to her.
In addition to this, one of my ex?s (we dated for about a month but knew each other for a few years) has recently sought me out to tell me that she met some guy and has gotten engaged after a month of dating him. Why she felt the need to tell me, I don?t know nor have I asked.
All this has transpired in the last few weeks and my depressive cycles have seemed to increase. I have gone out with friends from time to time and I do enjoy myself when I out with them, but afterwards, when I?m back home, I seem to slink back into the same situation as before. It?s not that I?m not happy in other activities. I enjoy my job, talk to friends, and watch DVD?s and movies in the theater.
I have considered seeing a therapist again, but I?m too nervous to bring myself to do so. I have a fear of exposing my emotions to an individual like that (ironic as I?m posting it world wide lmao!!).
I?m open to other opinions?
