			<link>http://depressionfalloutmessageboard.yuku.com/topic/2869/t/Emotional-affairs.html</link>
			<description><![CDATA[ Has this topic been discussed here before? It seems very prevalent that a DP will seek out new &quot;friendships&quot; when suffering a MDE. What&#39;s the
theory on this? Is it just a way to avoid thinking about the &quot;real&quot; problem? Is it a way for DPs to vent to people who will not question what they
say? Do you think that this helps the DP or hinders their recovery.
<br>
<br>
What do people think? ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Today is my 37th Birthday -- Happy Birthday to ME!!!!  Overall - I am having a good day, even though I am fighting a virus and on antibiotics.  But, my friends
have been calling, my parents made a lovely lunch for me and the kids, flowers and cake - so it was nice.  Tonight, one of my dearest friends is taking me to
dinner.

			<description><![CDATA[ We all know the checklist for depression, but I thought maybe we could share some of the things that are unmistakably signs of a new bout of depression hitting
our SO/Ex?
<br>
<br>
For me it is (in what I reacognize in his behavior)
<br>
<br>
weight gain
<br>
&quot;I don&#39;t know&quot; is standard reply
<br>
no sex
<br>
calling me names
<br>
blaming everything on me (and I mean everything.. even little things)
<br>
feeling paranoid

accuses me of &quot;$$$*!*@ with his mind&quot;

			<description><![CDATA[ November 18th, he says &quot;I want to marry you, have a family, etc.  Move in with me.&quot; 
<br>
December 15th he says &quot;I need to be alone.  I need to work on me.  I need to figure THIS (depression) out.&quot; 
<br>
Christmas Day, we spoke.  Nothing serious.
<br>
New Years Day, we spoke.  This time, I couldn&#39;t take it, and I brought up the topic of US.  He said &quot;I don&#39;t want to be in a relationship right
now.  I have to focus on me.&quot;  When I asked him what changed... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ My bf of a year struggles with d, this last bout came on after he quit taking his meds (back on them now). Over the past year, he has had a few
&quot;episodes&quot; and has ended the relationship each time. Of course, soon afterwards he will re-connect and we will get back together until the next time
around. This time is very difficult for me (as if the others weren&#39;t!). Every time I hear &quot;I just don&#39;t think I like you anymore,&quot; or &quot;I

			<description><![CDATA[ I know that there was a thread going some time back regarding this topic.  How do you know that someone is going thru a mid-life crisis and maybe NOT depression?  I am not even sure when mid-life starts for a man...always hear different numbers.  I hear the jokes of buying a new car, blah, blah blah...but could there be a combination of depression AND mid-life?<br> ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I posted this on Anne's board but would like others' opinions too:<br><br>Does what they say when depressed stay as reality when the depression finally lifts? <br><br>For example, my husband has been saying things that clearly show classic depression signs: he has no happy memories of our past vacations; he thinks we've socially isolated ourselves; he feels like we (as a couple) never had any common interests. All of which I know are untrue ... I have 10 photo albums of all our vacations and... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I've been looking through the archives but can't find anything on the issue of no contact with an XSO.  When my dxbf broke up with me 3 months ago, I initiated no contact even though he wanted to stay in touch.  After two months of that, he called me, and we communicated for a month after some struggles.  It was going relatively well, but I had considered again asking him not to contact me since I was starting to get my hopes up for the relationship and I wasn't sure if things were leading in... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ For those of you that have been separated/divorced or are now...would you continue to do family activities with your DSO?  i.e.  my kids would like to go hiking this weekend, my son would like for the &quot;whole&quot; family to go, which entails mom and dad together.  DH said that he doesn't have a problem doing that, doing things together as a family.  I am hesitant for several reasons.  One being, are we sending false signals to the kids?  We are separated but yet, doing family things?... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I have been feeling very angry and hopeless about my xdbf for the past couple of days but I have hesitated to post about it here because I feel as though my situation is so tame in comparison to what everyone else here is going through.  I feel silly for complaining about something that probably seems trivial especially since our relationship was only a little less than 7 months.  But I find I need to &quot;voice&quot; this somewhere so here goes.<br><br>I feel I have been almost the perfect... ]]></description>

You have chosen the most beautiful soul I know and have robbed him of joy, happiness, and love.  Why?  Are you jealous of this young, handsome, charming, funny, intelligent, caring, sweet, selfless person?  Are you so determined to undermine his life that you keep sinking your hooks in deeper, determined to make him miserable and lonely?  <br><br>You have taken hold of this fine man and have... ]]></description>
