i am sorry that your boyfriend is not being as supportive as he should be. my boyfriend tries to deal with me, tries to comfort me and a lot of the time i spit it back in his face. what i mean is, there is no one else that can fix you but you. you need to get somes meds and some therapy--don't be scared of it--there really isn't that much to be scared of--and work this out. he should be involved after a bit, after you have established some ground, but the beginning has to be you. i am sorry if i sound harsh. i have spent years trying to get comfort and help from other people and only gotten more and more depressed.
the truth is, there is nothing my boyfriend can say or do that is going to make me better. the fact that he is here is what counts. it sounds like you might want to include your boyfriend in therapy after you have made some progress. and don't worry about venting here, we all do!!! i wish you the best of luck for your appointment Monday--be honest and open with whoever it is you are seeing and go from there.
