Dude life is way to hard sometimes. I don't even really know what is wrong with me. Life is worth living because now I have a kid. But where I live people really suck and have all kinds of problems. My boyfriend isn't abusive but he sure is an asshole and he is mean and I don't get it. I know his mom is one wacked out lady and we don't talk too her so mabye thats why. asking him to go to the doctor is like asking for a fight. I think he is like manic depressive or something. I don't know if I should leave him or not. I have my own strange problems like feeling like everyone sucks! and lack of job motivation even thouhj I will still get a job to take care of my kid so we can do things and stuff. I feel like I am sitting on a fence all the time but I can't jump the gun on important things. It is just giving me ants in the pants. oh yeah I just stopped taking zyprexa and now I can actually get out of bed and Iv'e stopped eating like a horse. I only take lexapro now. HOnestly I don't know what drugs are good. Iv'e been given alot of stuff my whole life andonce this place gave me hadol cause I had anxiety. It was like 20mg and I had sezuries and I felt screwed up for a long time after that. God I cannot shut up I guess I will go and erad some stuff on this message board.

I'm sorry things are hard, and sorry to be such a prude, but please don't use language that could offend others.

I'm sorry you're feeling so bad right now. Abuse isn't always physical, it can be verbal as well. And if he's being mean, that's probably what it is. IMHO the best thing you could do is go see a therapist. Even if your boyfriend won't go, it will help you learn how to deal with him. Therapy has been the only way I learned how to deal with abuse in my life. I learned how to stand up for myself, to recognize why people in my life behave the way they do, and if the relationship is even worth holding on to.
As for your meds, I know what the med merry-go-round is like. If you aren't happy with your current doc, you should look for a new one. I did that and it made a world of difference. Especially if you can get a psychologist who specializes in treating your particular problem.
Feel free to write here anytime. There are alot of people here who can give you good advice.

Sounds like your having a tough time. I have thought the same thing at times (that life is too hard sometimes). Do you have a diagnosis? From your post, it sounds like you are having some trouble making decisions. How do you feel about that?
Feel free to post to me anytime.

thank you everybody for writing me back. I have been seeing a physcologist for most of my life I don't know if that's the same thing as a theripist. Anyway I am probobally going to move back here into my moms house. Which is really hard because he gets the apt. and the car. my mom has lots of dog hair and no cable. I will probobally go to a temp agency tomorrow to get some work. which is really hard for me too because I was a stay at home mom and thought it would be that way. I think it will be okay I will work second shift so my mom can watch my daughter. I don't trust daycare. I realize that even though I have a child mabye someday I can still have a famimly. My mom says my daughter is as cute as a puppy and someone would love her too. Yes I want to be alone for a while but I want to eventually have another child because my child has no cousins aunts uncles or anything like that. when i try to make life changing decisions I think about stuff like this. I know he does not love me even though he says he does. he rather hang out and sleep over his friends house, or sit in the bedroom and watch tv. He can't hold a job and he is nicer to other people than he is too me. He told me he didn't know if he could change becasue that is how he's been treated his whole life. So I said that is really sad that you rather lose your family than get a job and try to be nice or at least get some help. anyway I am trying not to love him because if I do than I won't be able to be strong enough to get a job and do the things I have to do. He thinks we just need time apart but I am sick Of him having to tell me when to leave my own house. hopefully somtime I will have a car again and my own place. On the bright side all the stuff is mine. the entertainment center, the king size bed, all my kids nice stuff of course. all the stuff on the walls all the movies. hmm I guess I feel better
