My boyfriend wants me to stop taking anti-depressants

...See more I have had on and off depression since I was a teenager. I have always been resistant to try anti-depressants because I felt like I could cure myself naturally - like through diet, exercise, positive thinking, etc. There were periods in my life when I wasn't depressed but when I was, nothing helped. The only thing that remotely helped was therapy and even that wasn't enough to completely cure it. Finally last year after becoming severely depressed to the point where I had a breakdown, I finally gave in and tried medication. Within a month I started feeling better. It has helped a great deal and I don't even need therapy anymore. I still have some bad days occassionally but nothing like before. However, my boyfriend (who I started recently dating) is concerned about the affects of taking anti-depressants long term and wants me to eventually stop taking them. He thinks I can get better with the right support and finding ways to make myself happy. But I am terrified of having a relapse if I stop. I really don't want to go through that again because I made so much progress. Please advise me on what I should do.

How can I stop loving someone?

...See more I still love my ex even though things ended pretty badly between us. It doesn't help that I also made some mistakes and wonder if I hadn't done that, I wouldn't be in this place now. I have so much regret over it and more as time goes by. I thought I was over him, but I still remember our memories and sometimes very vividly. I wake up in the morning thinking about him and even little things remind me of him. It also doesn't make it easier that my work is a couple blocks from his place. I really don't want to spend my life this way...just makes me sad even if one day get married and have kids, I will still have feelings for him. I know everyone says it's normal to still love somone even after years, but I really don't wish to feel this way anymore
