I was divorced 13 years ago. Swore I would never commit to anyone ever again. I met a girl 8 months ago that after having dated well over 100 girls in the last 13 years, was everything I was looking for. I often joked about her being on a manic high and that the crash is bound to come since noone could be this wonderful all the time. It was a joke. I fell in love, could not find a single thing I didn't adore about her. 2 Months ago I came home to find her on the couch in tears. Asked her what was wrong and got about 4 weepy words. "I don't know". I got her to a good psychiatrist who put her on zoloft 150, Wellbutrin 150, Klonopin .5 am, .5 night. She was already on Zoloft 100 for 3 years. She went off it shortly after she moved in. Suddenly off of it. I didn't know this. She put herself back on weeks later just after the "crash". It didn't work. She is seeing him in therapy twice weekly. She doesnt' want me involved right now and he won't share anything obviously unless she approves him talking to me. She goes to work as a Registered Nurse days and is FINE at work according to others I know at work. She comes home very depressed and is "frozen" when talking to me. I cannot get a thing out of her accept that this happened twice in her life before when she moved away from home. She lives with me in Connecticut. Moved from New Jersey. I called and spoke to her parents who say this happened 2 times before when she moved from home. She moved back home both times. She is pretty much the same for the last 2 months and can bearly talk to me. When I ask her questions she says I don't, huuuu (hufs), She says her mind is just totaly cluttered and confused. Nothing appears in any way to have just set this off so I am clueless. How long will this last and what in the world can I do or is this relationship doomed?. She was the type of girl that doted on me and for the first time took care of me unlike what most of my relationships were like. I always ended up taking care of them. Now I am taking care of her. Once again. Like a sick joke worse then anyone before her. This is a 360 from before this happened. I am really unhappy. What should I do?.
