Today, I admitted to my boyfriend of three years that I have been suffering from depression for a while now. He took it as a good time to dump me. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I told my boyfriend of nine months that depression runs in my family and I think the reason I've been flipping shit so much lately may be that I am depressed. Not five minutes later he decided a break would be "the best thing for us right now." FML
Today, my boyfriend of 3 years dumped me. I was really depressed, so a couple of my friends came over to take me out to a club to cheer me up. My ex was there, partying with his friends. He came up to me and my friends, and asked my friend if she wanted to hang out sometime. She said yes. FML
Today, I was diagnosed with depression. My girlfriend's idea of consoling me was to break up with me because she can't date a "psycho". FML
Today, I told to my girlfriend of 5 years that I'm depressed about having no friends, no job and a difficult family life. I told her that she's the one constant that keeps me going. She decided this was a good time to break up with me to "find" herself, since I was being so mopey. FML
Today, I had a mental breakdown. Many things have been going completely wrong in my life, and I finally decided to let my boyfriend know about it. After about an hour of explaining and pouring my heart out, his response was, "I think we were better off as friends." FML
Today, I was dumped. My boyfriend was too afraid to break up with me, so he sent the girl he cheated on me with. FML
Today, I broke up with my boyfriend. I had only been dating him for about a month. Thinking he wouldn't take it very hard, I invited him over so I could tell him in person. Little did I know he was going to start crying on my couch and not leave for 5 hours. FML
Today, I told my boyfriend that I loved him. Being dumped wasn't the reaction I was expecting. FML
Today, my boyfriend of the last 2 years, who is suicidal and heavily depressed, left me because he thinks I "deserve better". Not to mention I was his best friend, therapist, mother and girlfriend all in one. He left me with rent due in a week and all other expenses because he couldn’t take care of me in return. FML
Today, I finally told my boyfriend that I’ve been dealing with depression, and apologized for my bad moods. I wrote him three kinda long-story-short messages telling him why. His response? “It’s alright” and continued playing Raft. I expected something more… empathic? Am I selfish? FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Did he dump you because of the depression? Or because he was going to anyway? The former is a douche move and be glad to be rid of him. However if it's the latter he might well be going to support you through it as a friend, I can see why he might not want to prolong the relationship for such reasons but might find other ways to support you.

your (ex) boyfriend is an asshole... find someone who will accept who you are!

#58 Exactly. Depression isn't something you choose to have. You can't immediately think, "Hey, I'm not a starving child in Africa, therefore I have no reason to be depressed!" Depression appears out of nowhere, sometimes for no apparent reason...And it's not that easy to lessen the symptoms. You can't just "make it go away."

It seems to be that if she's been dealing with depression for a long while and he's been with her all that time, then breaking up with her now is a boner move. I'm sure she didn't just recently change her personality, so he's been dealing with it for a while. So he basically broke up with her because of a sudden realization on his part, not a change in behavior on her part.

Okay first of all, your stupid. Second, your ******* dumb. Depression is a real condition, which involves chemical inbalances I. The brain. These chemicals include serotonin and certain endorphins. Sure we all get sad sometimes, but depression is different. And when you say "your not looking at everything", your right, but that's because a person with depression can't. So stop being an idiot speaking of topics which you clearly know nothing about, Look it up and learn grammar dipshit.

Seriously, suck it up. No one likes being around someone who's depressed, and no one likes being depressed. I understand it's a medical condition, because I've had it. But you can fix it yourself! Don't rely on drugs and medication, just think about how life gets better and go out and do something you like to do! Get a new boyfriend and enjoy life, because you've only got one to live!

#68 I have mixed feelings about your comment. I'm not a fan of the "suck it up" part, seeing as how that's an unkind way to put things-- especially coming from someone who has dealt with depression. There are better ways to say that, you know. Someone rudely telling me to "suck it up" has never helped me with anything. The second part telling OP to make the best of things, to go out and do things she enjoys, and not to rely on medication is much more encouraging!

it's nice you want her to be all optimistic, but getting proffesional help is probably a better solution. you wouldn't want it to get any worse. plus 'sucking it up' is kinda hard to do when you just found out you've got a life changing disease. not everyone is prepared to deal with that and you should except that some people do need help.

Don't think you're really qualified to speak for people with depression if you're saying that you "had" it. Depression isn't like the flu; it doesn't go away after a little while and leave you alone. You can try and be more positive, but you'll still have depression for the rest of your life. I hate people like you who claim that you "fixed" your depression by being more positive, and thus it must be possible for everyone to "fix" their depression. Perhaps you just had a phase. But there are people out there seriously suffering.

you're better off without him. hard times unmask people, show their real character. Someone mature enough would take a stand and give support, not run away like a coward.
