I was recently diagnosed with clinical depression related to stress over a medical condition. I've been taking Celexa (started at 20 mg for 3 weeks, then upped to 40 mg) for about a month. For the last two weeks or so I've found it very difficult to be around my boyfriend. We have discussed marriage and prior to this depression I felt that I was very much in love with him. Now, however, when I see him it oftens feels like I'm with a stranger. Things that used to irritate me about him a little now seem to be huge things. I don't want him to touch me in a sexual way and I'm scared that this means my feelings for him have changed. He is a wonderful person and has been very supportive during this time. I feel huge amounts of guilt and stress when I am around him because I don't feel the way I used too. It feels like the depression is lifting so I don't understand why I'm feeling this way about him. Any thoughts?
