Depression help

Hannah

Hey guys, So I was just wondering if you guys had any advice for me. This is partially about my love life but also about my depression and just life in general.

So I started dating my boyfriend after breaking up with an emotionally abusive ex. My boyfriend makes me so happy, and I am infinitely glad that he came into my life. I feel like we really are meant for each other. But things have been rough. He has just moved to Canada, and I am still stuck in Arizona. We have financial opportunities at colleges apart from each other, and we were forced into it because his college is pretty much paid for up there and I have a full tuition scholarship here. We are finally together after 5 months apart, but it is going to be so hard to return to our lives apart from each other when school resumes. As of right now, he might be able to come back next year, but who knows. Anyway, before I even met him, I had developed depression. He has encouraged me to get help, counselling, and now I am trying an antidepressant. It's been like two months and there's really no change other than really weird dreams. I guess I've noticed recently that it's really hard to feel passion. I guess that's what bothers me most. Like when I met him at the airport I feel like I should have been bursting with joy and I was but it was more numb than usual. I mean I have had trouble feeling passion before but never like this. Should I try stopping my med and see how it goes? (I sometimes feel passion like how I used to when we are together, it just seems fleeting 😭)

Sorry about the rant, just want what's best for me and my love. Thanks in advance
