Hi and welcome to NeuroTalk. I'm so sorry for all the challenges you and your BF are going through. You seem to be a very perceptive and caring individual and your BF is fortunate to have you in his corner.

Hopefully others will be along shortly to welcome you to the site and share their expertise. I wish I had a solution for you. I just wanted you to know this is a very supportive site and you can come here and vent any time you feel the need.

Hoping for better days ahead for you.

Thank you so much! I'm tearing up just reading your reply, lol. I actually have a question for you, do you mind if I send you a pm?

Smile Hello KRMG...
Welcome to NT!
I'm so sorry you are going thru this
First thing I feel compelled to say is NO you are not being selfish! This situation has affected you in a huge way. I truly understand what you mean about feeling like a part of you has died. Anytime we lose something or someone close to us, there is the grieving process to go thru. I'm sure you have a gammet of emotions hitting you. Please allow yourself this, and try not to be so hard on yourself.
Even tho you haven't 'lost' your boyfriend per se, but you have lost a part of him and a part of your relationship. This is quite a blow.

Is he receiving good medical attention?

There's also a forum for discussion on Depression. I've battled this for quite some time and it sure is good to have a place like this to come to where people really understand.

Please feel at home. Everybody is down to earth and the support is never-ending.

Also, your friend may have a good point regarding talking to a therapist. They probably will have some good suggestions and techniques that can help you as you are trying to salvage your relationship.

My heart truly goes out to you

Caring,
Rae

Thanks, Rae. You're really sweet.

I completely feel that I've lost a part of him. Right now it's a huge part because everything is so unclear to him. Somehow he's remembered me, that was actually a big fear of mine. I thought he was going to forget who I was but it turns out he just forgets things we've done together or plans we've had. I know it'll take time, just real hard right now.
