Yeah.

My boyfriend broke up with me. I am severely depressed but I’m faking my happiness. My room literally looks empty. I had to take our pictures off the wall but I feel like I wanna throw up. I can’t eat without feeling sick, I can’t eat my favorite things. I cry every time I’m alone. I can’t do this. I need him back.

How long have you been suffering these symptoms? Any details you would care to discuss?Due to a bad break-up with my girlfriend in 2014, I ended up feeling severe anxiety and depression that was extremely hard to break out of until I started seeing therapists and psychiatrists. It took me a 2 years to finally seek help. I feel way better now due to my medications, but everyone is different and treating psychiatric symptoms is not a one-size-fits-all treatment. I will do my best to help because I can definitely commiserate with how you're feeling.

There's a grieving process when we lose someone or something. Grief is not always attached to death.

If you can't handle it on your own, perhaps seek out counseling as suggested by psychopharma.

I'm sorry for your pain. Please try and take care of yourself.

Hi there,

I’m sorry you are feeling so depressed. I found it was much more difficult to deal with being the one ‘left behind’ because I didn’t have a choice. Sometimes we don’t get to make that decision in our relationship but have to live with the consequences. I had to make a decision on how I would respond to my new circumstances. For me, I found strength in finding out where to put my trust and faith, once I had that figured out then the rest of my life fell back into place.

I know it is hard in the beginning, it’s like a rug has been pulled out from beneath your feet. Right? I can tell you that as I refocused my energy on getting better myself, it got easier. You are not alone. Do you have some good friends that you can talk with, or go do something with? That helped me. I also found a good church and got involved in attending there and meeting new people. I am sure thinking of you today and hope you start to feel encouraged.
