For the past couple of months I have been extremely depressed. I feel really down and out all the time. I have a stable job and a girlfriend of two years but somehow I feel something is missing. I even went to see a psychiatrist and he asked me to go meet up with old college friends. I haven't met them in a while and it felt so good to catch up. I realise now that the problem is that I'm surrounded with negativity every single day. My colleagues are always complaining, my parents are always complaining and my girlfriend is constantly moaning about every little thing. This is bringing me down to unendingly – how can I fix this?
It's like you have the answer in your hands. Do you really want to waste away your life with friends and a girlfriend who lowers your spirits? Try to find a new job or a new department at work. As for your girlfriend, if you really love her and think you need her in your life, tell her she needs to change her attitude. If you two want this relationship to succeed, she has to make a few changes or else it won't work out. Lovingly explain to her how you feel and what this situation is doing to your well-being. Good luck!
