Been a TOUGH week. Need Advice

[gordiehowehattrick]

Hi everyone, I hope you all are feeling great. I need some advice today and hoping someone can give it to me. I am an OCD / Depression / Anxiety sufferer who currently takes Clomipramine and Lexapro. I dont want to make this about medication; just want to give you a background. My girlfriend and I have been together for 2 years, living together for about a year and a half. She has some issues in her life (father doesn't talk to her, etc. ) that she has never dealt with. She is going through her own patch of depression now about where she is in her life, her dad, etc. We are very dependant on each otehr and very sensitive. We said we are going to have to change our lifestyle or our relationship wont work. Basically we dont get out much and rely on each otehr for entertainment. She is working on this and working on being more positive etc. She may even go speak to a therapist. I love her and am so glad because I do not want to see her down. That being said, when she says stuff like she wants us to be less depenadant on each other, I am so sensitive and I take it as though she is preparing to leave me which I know she is not. How do I react to her, do I hide my sensitivity. I feel the need to be assured over and voer that we are alright. I know this isnt a good habit to do. How do I react to her when she is being negative, etc. I understand that we both need to fix ourselves before our relationship can be at its peak so we are working on this, but in the meantime I need to know how to react to different things in our relationship. when we are both on the top of our game, we are great together. Thoughts anyone?
