Trying a new thing

Hi, I am 29 years old. I am very career oriented. I have always struggled with depression and anxiety, however I have found ways to cope and neglected to upkeep my mental health.

A few days ago my girlfriend of 5 years who also has the same struggles broke off our relationship because she feels we aren’t healthy for each other. We are not abusive, but we are both workaholics and struggle with anxiety and depression.

I’m struggling to cope with the reality of the break up and my own mental health and am looking for support or if I can offer support to others.

I’m not considering self harm- but I am having unhealthy thoughts of making irrational decisions.

My wife left me about 2 weeks ago..... ever since I am going from day to day like a robot. I wish I can give you some nice advised but I am really depressed and not sure what to do either. I am sorry that you are going through something that is tough and sad. I hope that you are doing okay. Look up to see if there is any peer-to-peer support group in your area. I hope that helps.
