Question
Dating > from anonymous8 answers
I've been with my girlfriend for two years, and for that whole time, she's been in therapy to deal with some problems she's having...Anxiety, depression, etc...At first, it wasn't a big deal...But things have progressed, she's going to more and more therapy, and I just found out that her psychiatrist wants to put her on an anti-psychotic drug...I won't say what it is, but it's very strong...I don't know if I should call it quits with her, or try to stick it out...I don't see her getting any better.. Do you know anyone who has come back from something like this?..Or is this always going to be a problem?..

This is most likely something she is going to struggle with for the rest of her life...Why do you not want to continue dating her though? Is it because you truly are not feeling the relationship anymore or be cause you are afraid shes crazy?..If it is really because your feelings have changed then you shoudl not stick it out just because she is going through troubles...Regardless of her problems, it is unfair to each of you to continue a relationship if you just are not that into her anymore...But if the problem is her therapy and meds, I do not think it is fari to break it off. I mean she is the same girl still right?..

The mere fact that you are asking this question leads me to believe that you are not really THAT into her. I won't tell you what to do except to say that if you are going to break up, it is best to talk to her psychiatrist first on the best way to approach the issue...

I think you are afraid of her mental state going into a place that is beyond your reach. You've spend 2 years with her and obviously love her. I can understand how scary that seems. I once dated a guy who was on anti-depresent drugs for years and it always seemed there was something in his life that triggered a need to continue. He wasn't even in therapy anymore - the MD just continued to prescribe the meds for him. I eventually broke up with him because he was always down and blaming everyone for making his life miserable. He didn't treat me very nicely, was super critical, and I just got tired of trying to make him happy all the time...

Gotta be honest and say if you dump her now you'll come across like the biggest ***hole in the world...If you're cool with that, then good luck...

If her doctor wants to put her on a very strong drug -- then yes, chances are if she takes the medication, it will work. She may be a whole new person after she gets her chemicals balanced. ..
I don't think you should dump someone because they're taking medication. Or because they're unhappy, but trying to get better...
