It's a hard topic to avoid or switch off especially if everyone else you know is dealing with it...perhaps have a chat with your bf and set days where you can have a talk about the depression try and do something that yous both like doing to get ur mind off it and both agree to not speaking of it I know the main things that help to lift me from my depression is the lexapro...I take 6-8 fish oil capsules per day and I don't let those intruding thoughts in or I set a time for my worrying it works

I can relate. My mom and brother are bipolar and my moms had a mental breakdown a few months ago. It's so a hard when your family is involved with mental illness. Normality becomes blurred until you surround yourself by healthy friendships and people.

my brother has manic highs and manic lows. For awhile I thought he was schizophrenic or autistic. He's also a drunk.
My mom is really depressed and is forgetful of a lot of things. it's sad to watch I honestly feel lucky not to be in their situation.

I feel depressed too alot. I'm having mood swings so much. Sometimes i'm feeling good, and 1 hour later.. I feel down, and unhappy, unworthy, and the most bad thing about my depression is, that I blame myself. It's because I don't feel happy with myself, I don't appreciate myself. Other's do, and I'm feeling accepted by them, But I don't know If I could ever find acceptance by myself. Because I cannot like myself, and that makes me feel so insecure.
Just about everything, So it's like controlling me also... :/

But I have my good days or moments, I bet you do too Katie

I agree with finding a day to do somthing together with your boyfriend, in order to get your mind of it. All I do is read comics or play nintendo, It gets my mind of it and I feel happy, or at least Im just really into what I am doing. Maybe you guys could go out to the movies or somthing. Maybe take an art class together if that interests you, pottery? Anyways I hope you do find somthing, I can't imagine what it's like to walk in your shoes.
