I'm afraid to tell my gf about my depression and social anxiety. Recently, she told me that she loves me, and we are happy together, but I am very depressed. I have little bouts of happiness, but that's about it. I get anxious around crowds. I'm afraid that if I get on meds, she will see me as weak and think that I'll be a bad father. She has a beautiful four year old daughter and I love them both, but I'm afraid I'll lose them. She has cerebral palsy, so if anything, she should accept me for who I am, right? I've accepted her for her disability, so am I right to say that she should accept me for my disability? I want to be truthful with her, but like I said, I can't help but think that she won't want to have kids with me. She might think that I'm maladjusted and not responsible enough to care for children if I need meds to level out my moods. I must say: I am always kind and sweet toward her and her daughter. I love them and don't want to lose them. Please HELP!
