About Kimberly

Hi, I have suffered through years of depression and the many disorders that come with it. It is a very scary experience and hard at times to get through the day. But I have now gotten to the other side of the pain and found hope and courage and life. I want to be a person you can feel comfortable talking to, and in talking with me that you can feel at ease knowing that I have been there and I do understand. I want to be a friend and listen and I will do my very best to ease the feelings you feel and help you in your journey to a better happier life. You are not alone and I would love to be there to help you fight.

Experience
My greatest accomplishment is knowing that I have been there and today, I'm here to help others in their healing. The biggest accomplishment lies in those who write for help in so doing they are taking a huge step in their healing! I am currently a student in Psychology, and have been certified in Crisis prevention since 2001.

Dealing with Depression - feeling depressed because of my girlfriend


Expert: Kimberly - 9/20/2007

Question
my girlfriend and i have been dating for 14 months and its like the greatest part of my life to be with her for that long. I love her so much and but something is not right. I've been trying to talk to to her on the phone and she says that she'll call me back but she doesn't and keeps me in the dark. I'm trying to find out what's going on and I'm getting no results. I've been feeling so depressed that I'm gonna go down and stay crushed. I don't know if this is a sign of a break up or sign that she doesn't want to talk to me anymore. I wish i could find out whats going on and my girlfriend tells me that nothing's wrong but i could tell that something is not right. When i wanna talk to her about whats going on, she gets mad at me for talking about it and hangs up the phone on me. its heartbreaking that i have to go through this and not knowing whats going on. What should I do to find out whats going on and to convince her that i need to talk to her about this and not getting mad about it. I feel that i'm losing her. thank you for giving the time to read this.

Answer
Jay,

It sounds like she just needs time.  This doesn’t mean it has anything to do with you, but it could mean that your reaction to it will not help your case.  Something in her life may be happening that she can not handle, and she may not be able to talk about it.  Try to respect that and not feel insecure.  You can’t know at this point if this has anything to do with you and pushing this subject makes it harder and more likely for her not to open up to you.

Have you ever been in counseling for your anxiety, fear, and insecurities?  If not I strongly encourage you to consider doing so, it will put you at much more of an ease.

Take care,
Kim
