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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 went to see my girlfriend to talk about my anxiety, because it's been a big issue. She broke up with me instead. FML
Today, my girlfriend's mom pulled me aside and started telling me about how her daughter was extremely depressed and suicidal before she met me, and how happy her family is because of me. I was planning on breaking up with her within the next week. FML
Today, my girlfriend's best friend was dumped, and was absolutely depressed. My girlfriend thought she'd show her sympathy by breaking up with me so they "could be single together." FML
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

You don't need her. You need someone who is a lot more compassionate.

Psycho is actually short for psychotic, which just means someone who experiences hallucinations, delusions, and disordered speech. Definitely not remotely the same thing as depression. In addition, psychotic people are way more likely to be harmed by people than they are to harm others. So not only is your ex a piece of shit, she knows nothing about mental illness whatsoever. I know it really hurts now, but honestly, if she had that reaction to you being honest about the state of your mental health, she wasn't ever worth your time.

It's sad there's so many stigmas about all mental illnesses, regardless of severity (at ALL, really). The lack of understanding by people who don't have to deal with it on a daily basis and societies need to "label" such things makes it even worse for those trying to work through the issues. If people quit taking all their time to label things and stopped shoving meds down people's throats to make them "normal" we could all work through the issues in a much healthier way. I'm really sorry your girlfriend was a complete and total bitch about it. She obviously doesn't understand or care to take a moment to learn about what it is that you're going through. You can work through this, trust me, many people have including myself. It's all about coping skills. Do what you need to do to feel better even if that includes cutting off people from your life who are poisons to your happiness. Well... Anything so long as it's not hazardous to your health...

Good riddance, I would say. I'm sure there are people who truly care about you and now you won't have to waste your time and heart for those who don't. Best of luck to you.

I struggle with depression also. You really are better off now because she will be replaced by someone who will be supportive when you are going through your lows.

Guess it's good she broke up with you then because you don't need that kind of mojo in your life right now anyways. Hope it all turns around :)

Hey, I'm sorry. I've been there, and it's tough. Ultimately it'll probably be for the better because, for one she doesn't seem like the nicest person, and more importantly, when dealing with and recovering from depression people who are dating tend to rebuild their life around their partner(s), so this will give you time to sort yourself out.
