We went to his mums party recently and everyone was joking about it which made me feel like a joke. please help its ruining our relationship

When you have clinical depression then you need strong, supportive people around you to heal. You may lack the energy to deal with a break up in a relationship right now but it is likely to happen because you don't respect him anymore...and who would? It is a little on the tragic side that he sends naked pics over the net to some random woman. Part of your depression recovery is about self respect and learning to like yourself again - part of that process is standing on your own two feet and getting some of what you want from life. It doesn't sound like you get much in the way of positive vibes from this guy and he maybe part of your depression, not part of the solution. It would be brave to dump him even though you are feeling low right now - you may even feel better as a result!

You dont need him my heart really goes out to you, i feel very depressed but i havent been diagnosed its awful. your boyfriend is not helping the situation, you need people around you that care, to be honest you dont even need him the only way you can get over deppression is by picking yourself back up no one else can do it for you so you dont even need that moron around hes just making you feel more insecure tell him where to go!!!! good luckxxxp.s dont worry babe your not a laughing stock he is what he did was just so tacky.

First of all, how did everyone find out? How many people are in your relationship 2 or 20. This is something that should have been worked out between you 2 and no one else. You have to take it in stride. If you all have worked it out amongst you than it doesn't matter what they say because people will always talk and as soon as the next bit of good gossip comes up they will forget all about this thing. Just give it some time. They will soon grow bored with it. Good Luck.
