I was diagnosed with GAD and depression a little over a year ago. I have just switched from Prozac to Wellbutrin. In fact, I am still dealing with the withdrawl.

But my question is an off-topic one. In the midst of my current stresses, my ex-girlfriend is hounding me constantly. We broke up 2 months ago after a 3 month relationship. I believe she suffers from depression, but she is trying to handle it on her own. When we broke up, I told her I wanted us to be friends. Which is true, but I really kind of want to get plenty of space between us so we can both carry on with our lives. I do my best to avoid her, but she IM's me telling me how much she needs to talk to me and see me to feel good. To top that off, she throws in "I miss you" to really drive it home. I care about her, but there is no way in hell I can do that for her. I want to carry on with my life. I WANT MY SPACE. I am afraid I will have to be a jerk to her to finally drive the point home. She agreed to back off last night, but added "I miss you" when I said bye. I am having enough anxiety as it is with the medication switch, but this is not what I need. :confused:

I guess I want to know....how should I deal with this? She is acting so desperate to have me as an anchor, and that has really stressed me out. Advice from men and women alike are welcome.

Are you on wellbutrin xl or sr? I am on lexapro....still trying to get help with the anxiety, but I do have a script for wellbutrin xl to try..I think you should just need to tell your girlfriend you need the space right now. If you totally just want to be friends ONLY, then tell her. It might take her awhile, but she wil get the point. Then it will be up to her whether or not she wants to be friends. I hope this helps some.

I am on SR. Thanks, I guess if I hold my ground, she will decide to back off.
