writes:Recently, I've been really depressed. I end up withdrawing into myself when this happens, because I'm afraid to ask for help, or to confide in them deeply.My last really depressive episode, I broke up with my boyfriend because I desperately needed his support but he had no idea what I was going through because I was too frightened to tell him how emotionally unstable I was. I had an overpowering feeling of him not being able to comfort me, and thus not being right for me, and so ended it. I want to be a good girlfriend to him, and I see my depression as being very weak.He convinced me to get back together, and I've been really happy I did as we've gotten much closer. Now though, my depression is coming back, and I'm fighting feelings of panic, and a stronge urge to break up with him again, or tell him we need a break for a few weeks so I can be alone.What is wrong with me? Can anyone explain why I feel like this?

 I think what you really need to do is get into a serious one on one conversation with him and tell him about all your problems. Vent yourself to him. Then, after that, he will understand where you're coming from. Not only does it take just one session though, if you really feel depressed and have a lot of things on your mind, you both will need to talk more. So much more. Fix what's happening.
