Should I be embarrassed to tell him?

Question

Should I be embarrassed to tell my boyfriend that my therapist suggested putting me on anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medication she said it will help with my ptsd. He sees that stuff as a weakness. •He isn’t that supportive and has said the ptsd is just a weakness/excuse. 
I have ptsd because I was in an abusive relationship for 4 years.

Answer

Sounds like he deserves to be an ex and you should stick with the plan you and your therapist agree on.

Answer

quick question, is your boyfriend supportive of you and your depression? because if he's belittling you over that, that's an issue. 
anyway, you aren't obligated to tell him about it, especially if you think he'll make you feel bad about it.

Answer

Sounds like an ass if he sees it as a weakness... you shouldn't feel embarrassed at all about it, but if he makes you feel negatively because of it then he's not a good fit

Answer

no, you shouldn't be embarrassed! If he's not supportive, then unfortunately it sounds like it's not a good match. if you feel like it will better yourself, go for it! But I feel like if you feel like you have to hide that from him, it will only make your anxiety/depression worse. /:

Answer

Never be embarrassed about sharing anything with your partner! He should be the one that’s by your side and supporting you through the difficulties you’re facing, NOT portraying them as a “weakness”!

Answer

I was in a similar situation. I have complex PTSD from childhood trauma and my man doesn't believe in all that. he thought you should just suck it up and move on. with Ptsd, your brain rewires itself to always react with fight or flight even for trivial things. I explained what my diagnosis was for, what I personally experienced, and why it effects me now. turns out, his view point was from misunderstanding. since he didn't get how people could "still be upset" about things that happened forever ago, he thought they were just being dramatic. keep the communication open, and if he belittles you after you've explained it, get rid of his ass. we are working on recovering, we don't need weak men in our lives like that.

Answer

Break up with him.

Answer

He sounds like a douche, you should be proud that you are getting help to get over whatever ordeal you have had that caused your trauma

Answer

then maybe he's not the one for you if he's the type of man that has bought into hyper masculinity and that emotions,  ptsd, and needing help is weakness

Answer

You shouldn’t be embarrassed to tell him, but you should be embarrassed OF him. Seeing mental illness as a weakness is quite sad. If he makes you feel bad about it, then you should explain to him that it’s an actual health condition and shouldn’t be mocked.
