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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
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 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, my boyfriend told me that his best friend of 10 years is giving him the silent treatment because he told her he's in a relationship. He's become a depressed wreck. When I asked him if he's secretly in love with her or something, he flipped a table over and told me to, "mind my own fucking business." FML
Today, my boyfriend called and asked me why I love him. I told him because he's always there for me and continues to put up with my bipolar disorder. He promptly said "not anymore" and hung up. 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
Today, after I tried to break up with my boyfriend, he said he won't give up on us and asked me to go to therapy. According to him, “You might need medication for how you feel.” FML
Today, I was texting my friend. He has a history of depression, which we were talking about, and somehow, he turned the conversation to, "If we ever broke up, I would kill myself." I didn't even know we were even going out. FML
Today, in the same sentence, my boyfriend told me that he wanted to "spend the rest of his life with me," and "I want to break up with you because I can't face your family." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Well he's right. I mean, maybe you should figure out your mental health issues instead of worrying about a relationship anyways.

to be honest, i would probably break up with you too. maybe not five minutes later, but he's not obligated to be with you just because you're depressed.

Depression does is not hereditary. You are a lier. You want to be able to act immature without consequence.

Depression isn't hereditary, but other conditions, like bipolar disorder, causes among other things depression.

he is kind of an asshole, but it was better that he broke up with you earlier, than like 6 onths into being there for you.

Depression is just a bunch of bull shit! Its just an excuse for people to sit on their fat asses all day and act sad! its all shit.

There's a flaw in your argument: being sad isn't fun. In fact, it's the opposite of what people like to be. Why would someone intentionally sit around being sad? Wishing you could do something to make yourself happy for once and being completely unable to is one of the worst things I've ever experienced, so I don't quite get why you think it's desirable... Medical professionals call depression a real mental disorder. Or are doctors who go to school for 10+ years also full of shit?

Depression is in fact a clinical issue. Pills are stupid though. You should do thing txht make you happy and by dumping you that asshole might've put you in for worse. Depression is a true and horrible thing to experience and people saying that it's whining probably never had depression thanks to their perfect lives. I'm not saying I've necessarily had it but I know it's a painful thing to endure and I've seen it. I;m sorry for you and those assholes that say it's for attention just don't get it.

speaking from experience if he doesnt want to support you he can go to hell and you deserve better just do things that make you happy and hopefully your family can help you and depression is not just for attention for whoever thinks it is can go die in a hole as far as im concerned
