Depressed and lonely

[Recruiterfun]

I just went through a terrible breakup with a man that I loved very much. It was two weeks ago and I have been dealing with depression for years but now it is so horrible. I don't want to get out of bed and I don't want to smile or eat anything. I have lost weight and have zero interest in eating. My new therapist is great and I hope she can help me but most days I just don't want to be here.

I'm sorry you're feeling so down. Breakups can be so hard, and people like us who are living with depression can take it even harder. Remember that some of what your feeling, although it sucks, is natural. It's great that you are reaching out here, and that you have a therapist to help you through this tough time.

I am sorry you are going through this. I have been through it several times. Relationships breakups are like going through a serious drug withdrawal. It's important to reach out for support. In my situation I needed antidepressants.

I am 3 weeks out now and have been on meds. They are helping. I will get through this it is just the hardest thing ever when you love someone this much.

Hope meds are being tried, and one is searching for the best combo. We have also found some relief from loneliness and dread using cannabis - edibles can be fun.

I feel you. Going through a hard time. Although I know it must be hurting bad for you because of the break up. For me my whole family has mental illness and so I don't feel like I have anyone to even talk to , I have become so sorrowful and hidden within myself. I am scared of going deep into my old depression but this family just isn't happy , its a sorrowful place and if you are happy , the atmosphere here makes sure you aren't for too long.

My family has a lot of issues also. I find peace in staying home alone and either watching tv, cleaning or listening to Audible. Time will go by and I will get there. Thank you
