I would think since he was depressed, he would be understanding of your disability.

Jeff, Very true. I completely agree. He had a hang up about my disability

His loss.  There is someone out there for me.

And dating you cheered him up?
It  had to help some. The older I get the more I realize that things like age and race are meaningless, it's what's inside a person that counts.

Jeff, How sweet. I might be too young for you, I'm just 28. He was
depressed before we started dating.

How could any guy be depressed if  he was dating you:)

Maybe a switch in meds will do you good.  I couldn't take Wellbutrin even though I SO wanted to (because it reportedly doesn't cause weight gain like SSRI's do.)  It gave me the most horrible anxiety attack I'd ever had and made me feel suicidal, which I definitely didn't need.  Maybe you'll feel better once they switch you to something else. I hope so.

Jollyjeff...I am agoing to ask Santa to bring you Happy things!!!

Keep your chin up. Things will get better. When a pendulum swings one way, it always swings back the other way. So, what I mean is, bad feelings will not always be there. The good ones and good things, by the law of averages, have to swing your way. Hope that makes sense. I'm sending you good karma, jeff.

Hi Jeff, I used to date someone with depression. Thank you for

your honesty and positive outlook.  I am sure you have educated and encouraged more people than you know. 

Merry Christmas!
