So, here's the jist of it - gimme your thoughts please lovely folk of Mumsnet. I've been seeing someone for 2 months. We have loads of fun, talk easily, enjoy one another's company. We have been taking it relatively slowly then building up to talking everyday, seeing eachother a fair amount and bring fully comfortable in eachother's company/staying together etc. Last night I felt he had been a little distant on the phone so I checked in and asked if he was happy with things in terms of us dating (I assumed yes as he has been very into this from the start and had asked me the day before if I'd like to go camping with him for a weekend away.) He's given me all the right signs and I felt very secure in our dynamic until last night. Suddenly he said he was depressed and that his mental health had deteriorated to an extent that he doesn't know what he feels about anything anymore. He said he has been having doubts for a few weeks but thinks it's related to his constant sense of sadness at present and mental state. He said if he ended things now he'd spend months sad and regretting it but if we continue he'll be worried and feel very uncertain about what he wants. He says he needs more time to work out what he really wants and wants to stop seeing eachother for now but that he really likes me and having a really difficult time mentally. He said he just doesn't know what he feels about anything at the moment and then said "I think I need to go back on medication." Five hours before this he had told me he had missed me and was looking forward to seeing me. So, in short, has anyone got any insight into what the hell is going on. Shall I cut my losses and assume he's not that interested or can depression make you want to end a relationship even if you are really interested in that person? Pfftt, I feel this has come out of nowhere.
