I recently hurt my girlfriend again, and shes not so sure im going to change. Ive been under the roof of an abusive father and suffering manic depression. I'm changed for the good. What should I do and say to make her see she can trust me again? This would help alot

Trust is something that should be earned. I think you're just going to have to give it time and show your girlfriend that she can trust you. It may take a while, but if you love her and are sincerely trying to change, she'll see it. Take it one day at a time.

It's easy for a person to say they've changed, but much more difficult to actually do it. When the problem is a medical one, it's pretty much impossible to do it alone. Wanting an open wound to close doesn't make it suddenly happen, and clinical depression is no different. Get help. That will be the first step in proving you really WANT to change.

I agree with Sharon and Ron........trust has to be earned, and also, if you have a medical problem, you really need to get that problem under control.

What stood out to me in your words was that you said that you hurt your girlfriend   AGAIN....... ?????
