A Loved One Who Is Depressed

...See more I’m torn and I need some advice. I have someone who is going through some things and they seem depressed. They want to just isolate and be by themselves. I’ve been trying to give them some space but I also care about them and I’m concerned. Should I push to help get them out of this funk? Should I continue to respect their wishes? How much space is too much space?

Taking a relationship break

...See more I made a longer post under relationship stress - general but no one replied. So I’m posting again… My boyfriend and I recently decided to take a break instead of breaking up. This break is exclusive and is more like getting some space. I've been stressed out about it and it has been hard because we usually talk everyday. Im just wondering whether breaks in a relationship ever actually work to bring two people back together again or if I’m just delaying the inevitable?

We are taking a break

...See more My boyfriend and I have been together for 2+ years. The first two years were amazing and then the last few months were a bit rocky. Yesterday he said he doesn’t feel a spark anymore and he was thinking about breaking up (I also think he was just upset because we got into it. Plus he was still telling me he loved me and doing loving gestures so apart of me is confused by this). I feel as though we can fix our problems but only if we both put in the effort and fix our communication. We decided to take a break/ give it some space. (I also made it clear that this doesn’t mean talking or hooking up with other people). I guess I’m just wondering if taking a break ever works to bring people back together again… or am I just delaying the inevitable?

Why am I here?

...See more I feel like I'm slowly losing it. I've been trying to keep it all together and pretend like I'm ok but I'm not... I haven't been able to get a job. I get anxiety just filling out applications. Not to mention the pressure my family is putting on me. I don't really have any friends. My so called best friend hasn't spoken to me in months despite my attempts to talk to her. I got into a fight with someone while I was intoxicated and now my whole family sees me as a drunk. So I guess no more drowning my problems in alcohol.... I feel like I'm suffocating. There is more to my story but in short everything just has me questioning my existence. I just feel like I can't do anything right and no one wants to be around me anyways. So why am I here?
