Long history of mental health affecting relationship with boyfriend. NEED ADVICE!?
Jan 25th
Question by : Long history of mental health affecting relationship with boyfriend. NEED ADVICE!?
I am debating on whether or not I should end things with my boyfriend. He and I have been dating for a year, and honestly, I really do love him. But from the very beginning, things have started off on the wrong foot for us and they have only gotten worse as time has gone on.
I suffer from Major Depression, Borderline Personality Disorder, and Bi-Polar Disorder. I am a “cutter” and I have had a few suicide attempts in the past. This is a day to day struggle of mine. I have had a very rough childhood, and now as a 22 year old adult, things seem to just be getting even harder.
From day one, my boyfriend knew about all of my “mental health” issues. He claimed that he could deal with them and that he wanted to “be there” for me and help me “get better.” But over the course of the past year, he has honestly only made things worse.
He is an alcoholic. He comes from a very different “family-type” then I do. His family grew up doing drugs and dropping out of high school. While, even though my mom died when I was 14….I still tried to progress positively and maintain the proper course that she would have wanted for my life.
But he flat out told me when I met him that he, along with all 6 of his brothers have never finished high school. And they all have done drugs at some point in their lives. And of course I thought to myself…Is this really the kind of person I want to be dating? But I tried not to judge him and accepted him past for what it was and hoped that he would be willing to make a new life with me.
Well, now…a year later. He and I really are in love. I swear it. But the problem is that I am still so depressed. And I’m sitting back thinking…ok…now what? Neither of us have jobs. (He worked at a fast food restaurant for 9 months…just recently quit) And I cannot find a job to save my life.
So our life together is very boring. And it takes a toll on me a lot quicker then it does him. My mind doesn’t work the same way his does…so when I have to sit at home and cry about the fact that I am a loser and I have a loser boyfriend and all we do is sit around and waste our lives…it doesn’t take me very long to come to the conclusion that I am a piece of sh!t and I should just kill myself.
But I never do it. I usually just force myself to go to sleep for a day or two. And then wake up and repeat the process all over again.
So I guess my question is…
What should I do?
I don’t want to get rid of the boyfriend…I really do love him.
But I feel like he’s taking me no where in life.
Then again…I’m taking myself no where.
HELP.

Can mental abuse from a parent (father) affect a childs learning and social ability?
Jun 29th
Question by sherbert: Can mental abuse from a parent (father) affect a childs learning and social ability?
My father is an alcoholic and started mentally abusing me when I was about ten years old (grade four). I started becoming depressed and I was also being bullied at school.
By eleven-twelve years old (grade six) it started getting worse and my father would yell and scream at me and blame me for everything that was going on between my mother and himself (they were divorced by this time and had been separated for years. They had shared custordy of my lil bro and me) and also would scream at me saying everything was my mothers fault. Not something great when you’re eleven years old.
I was eleven years old when I first harmed myself. People and teachers in primary school (i assume) thought I was some freak for it as well. I would start crying out in class randomly because of my father.
It took me many years of councelling to get back on track and still today I go through very harsh depressive states where I have overdosed on painkillers and cut myself again (also because of school and family life, not only my father).
Most of my subjects are passing grades, but I feel I could be excelling more in them if I wanted to.
I find it hard to casually talk to people at school (I only moved to the school last year, but the new group I’m with I only started hanging around at the beginning of this year) and I feel people are always looking down on me as if I’m worthless. This makes me feel absolutey worthless with everything else being on top. I feel that I’m not good or pretty enough for peoples standards to be their friends.
I had a councellor weekly when I used to live with my father and just after I started living with my mother full time to help me through school and my father but that is it other than school councellors on and off through high school. They only seem like a quick fix for me for about 24 hours.
Could of my fathers influence have anything to do with the way I feel or am or am I really just some messed up person?
This may sound crazy to some people but I need to get better before I study psychology (that’s the plan, anyway) at uni. I also have been told by my school councellor that I can excel in a career in psychology because I wont need to visulize and try and put myself in other peoples perspectives when I already know, as I have been in some situations where you just can’t be taught about. I don’t want to be studying psychology when, really, I’m the one who needs it. If I can find my answers and try and help myself through my problems, I may be able to help myself to a better way of life.
Sorry for the exam-like details! Haha!
Peace x

Grew up with something similar, I’m now 33 and I can see how it’s shaped who I am and how I approach things. I admire you for having the courage to sort through all of this.

Question by Wookie turkey: How to help a friend that has a drug addiction and mental health problems?
I myself am a recovering alcoholic and know what it’s like to be an addict, but I don’t really know ho to help a friend that has an addiction. I know that when people tried to help me with my problems I turned away at first and got angry. I think most people do that at first, but I know if my friend gets angry I will lose her, what should I do?
