My boyfriend of one year broke up with me out of nowhere citing depression and feeling blank. He blocked my number. He recently changed some meds and was having some lows. I feel so broken.

Sorry to hear that. Did he say it was because of your depression or his depression.

His depression. He recently changed meds and some physical health issues as well. So he blamed everything on that, and shut me out!

That's rough. Hopefully he's not fully socially isolating himself otherwise because that can be a symptom...

But as for you, I hope you're not internalizing his choice. Sometimes with depression, people find out that they are bad at boundaries with people in their life. as they learn to create them, they can swing to extremes, especially with people they knew before they realized their lack of boundaries.

Just remember that you can have compassion without tolerating hurt. His issues with depression are not an excuse or a get out of accountability free card. I'm sorry, I hope you can take time to yourself and reset a bit from something like this.

My ex did this to me. I later found out she had something called borderline personality disorder, and this is common behavior to go completely cold turkey out of nowhere

Today is my 23rd birthday and I had very few people say happy birthday today. I was still in daily contact with my ex (I know a mistake) and he snapped me but did not send me happy birthday (we were together 3yrs ). So I finally blocked him on everything for the first time. (I should’ve done it a long time ago for other reasons) With the pandemic and everything else going on I’m feeling hopeless and alone. 😓 is there anything to be happy about right now?

I’m (early30s) about 8 months into a relationship with a 40m. Things are wonderful in every aspect, but he is absolutely atrocious with his finances. I felt it becoming an issue about two months ago. He forgets about auto payments and just generally doesn’t care. I sat down with him and looked at everything and even after talking it out he still continues to stress and it’s now causing me stress. I had a final discussion with him today about it and he went on abt how love isn’t enough for me…
