Just came off anit-depressants, now I'm worried my emotions will tear us apart

A female United Kingdom age 22-25, Jen86 writes:

I think I might be trying to destroy my extremely happy relationship with my boyfriend. I get upset with him over the smallest things and end up crying. I tell myself that these little things are not a big deal but I still cry. I hide in the bathroom so he can't see but he ends up covincing me to come out and tell him whats wrong. I tell him and he then feels all guilty. This makes me feel guilty because he has depression. Last week I came off anti depressants as the dr said to (gradually) and I think i might be pregnant as well, I've done a test but it was negative and i think i tested too early as well. Has anyone got any ideas whether it might be side effects of coming off the anti depressants or my hormones? I really love my boyfriend and hope that we will carry out our plans of getting married and raising a family. Why am I doing this to him?

DiovanLestat agony auntSorry Jen86 that I offended you. Your right I really do need to slow do and read things more carefully. I now realise that you are not pregnant and therefore pregnancy hormones are not the cause of your tears. I also understand from your update that your relationship is fine and nothing is wrong except these little stupid things that make you cry.

Sorry that I upset you with my advice and I'm sorry I could not be of more help. I am glad that everything is now ok with you and your boyfriend and I wish you well in life.

PS: I like the cowgirl pic. It makes me happy and makes me smile, and that is enough for me. I would offer other suggestions, but I don't think it will help, so I leave you now with my good wishes for your continued happiness.

Jen86 is verified as being by the original poster of the question

i'm not trying to control his behaviour. I MIGHT be pregnant not i AM pregnant. Read more thoroughly diovan. I've had coucelling and have come to terms with everything that caused me to be depressed. Our relationship is great. Thered are no problems just tiny insignificant things make me cry. What is so hard to beleive that there is nothing wrong with our relationship? I just wanted an opinion on wether it was POSSIBLY hormones or the side effects of coming off the anti depressants. BTW wats with the really stupid cowgirl pic? U SUCK!!!!

If you suffer from depresion and are usualy on medication, but are being taken off it, that means your depression isnt being treated, therefor you will still have it! It doesnt just go away once you have been taking the pills for so long. Obviously your depression isnt just a chemical imbalance in the brain, which is what the pills are used for to help. You need to seek counselling to deal with your depression. Its highly important considering you are on the medication and either if you were, seeing a counsellor is still a good idea. Please seek that help. There are many free counselling services out there, so if you cant afford to see one, im sure you could find a free one. Encourage your partner to do the same.

DiovanLestat agony auntYou both have depression, you have recently come of tablets and are now pregnant. Not good, not good at all. You both have issues and are very delicate at the moment.

Unfortunately there is no space here to go into the in's and outs of your relationship and what may be causing you to act like this.

Go back to your doctors and demand counselling services for the sake of you, your baby and your current relationship. You really need professional help if you want to try to move this relationship to a more healthy position for you, the baby and your boyfriend.
