I have been taking anti deppressants for about a year now and I havn't told my boyfriend. I tried to talk to him about it before I started and he just started yelling about his ex doing it and cheating on him. Its killing me to keep it from him but I dont want him to compare me to her and get mad again. what do I do?

Ouch. Sounds like your bf is playing a role in why you need those antidepressants. You might consider not worrying about what to tell him, and finding someone who will be more supportive of you. If he loves you, it shouldn't matter what kind of medication you need.

It would be in your best interest if you want to keep your boyfriend to tell him you are on anti-depressants, Although it would be wise for him to hear what you have to say without yelling at you, yelling does not do any good and it only makes a situation worse. He also needs to stop comparing you to his ex, what does she have to do with this relationship? nothing . Would not hurt you to tell you are tired of him comparing you to his ex and that you don't see any point in it since he is no longer dating her. If he soon does not clean up his act then it is time consider a new boyfriend, or taking a break from the dating scene until you are ready to go back into it again.

He call this cheating?!
He is just plain ignorant in my opinion. Why compare? I thought he should there supporting you?
Not putting you down by comparing you with his ex?
What is his problem with you taking anti-despressant? If he is going to hang on the fact that you are hiding this fact from him. Ask him to be a man and get over it. Like it kills him not knowing you have a hard time coping with your depression.
Unless he can't get over that fact that you have a depression problem, if it is true, leave him. You don't need him to add on to your stress hun.
p.s You are not cheating my lady, cheating is sleeping around, hooking up with other guys.

why hiding it ?? its not like ur cheating or anything , it seems that he is making ur depression even worse . I think u should tell him ,if hes not supportive then he's not worthy of u and he isn't tha man that u can depend on..so don't be afraid of changing ur partner, find some one who accepts u the way u r,helps u and turns ur world pink to the point that one day u remember this period of ur life with a phrase( i used to take anti depressant.. )
Love makes the world a better place..

Hmm... I`m on a mood stabelizer and an antidepressant and I`ve never cheated on my husband or my girlfriend (I see pretty girls every day and wonder what it would be like to wild out with one of them tho.) Being realistic, taking meds and cheating have nothing to do with each other. I`ve never had sex with any other male in my life and won`t and thats that !!! Sorry, but you might have to shop around.

What is the big deal about taking antidepressants, like why is it such a big secret it is nothing to be ashamed of, just tell him, taking antidepressants is not the same as cheating, if he asks why you kept it a secret just be honest, i'm sure he won't freak, it's not like your telling him you've been snorting coke behind his back

If you've been taking them for a year and he hasn't noticed then why tell him and cause a ripple in your relationship?
Don't tell him anything (even thought it's a huge cliche') what he don't know won't hurt him or you in this case. If a doctor put you on those then you have nothing to worry about.

Someone who isn't willing to understand and support you is not worth sticking with, not only is it not worth it, but it's not helping you.
There are guys out there are are understanding and supportive, it kind of sounds as if he's still a young person. You need to be happy and comfortable with yourself, you deserve to be able to share and talk with someone that is willing to listen.
