Hi I feel your pain, I was married for 22 years , then divorced and meet someone else but she ended it in Aug and I am exactly like you can’t seem to move on from it feel totally alone and really struggling, the second relationship has really cut me so deep, all I wanted to say is your not alone in your feelings and I wish I had a magic pill that would take away the pain, your right about sleep it’s the only thing I enjoy, but now my dreams haunt me, stay strong 😌

Hi there,

I know it's hard right now, but I guess that you are going through the grieving process.

Do you have any hobbies that you enjoy such as shopping, eating out, relaxing with friends or reading a book etc?

Just take that time out for yourself and just relax and put yourself first 😊 Treat yourself to something because you deserve it and remember to self love 👍

I have those days too where I feel too depressed to even get out of bed. I feel like sleep is my only escape!

Stay strong and take care x

Thank you , i don, t really feel like mixing at the moment , just want to be on my own , if i go shopping i end up crying as everyone is loved up so try to avoid the shops x

You're welcome, and I understand.

How about doing something like reading, cooking or watching a movie?

Hoping you feel better soon 😊 x

Hello,

I’m sorry to hear you’re having such a rough time at the moment. Did you seek help from your GP with your depression in the past? They are usually very helpful in letting you know what kind of support is available.

Do you have any family or good friends that you can spend time with? I know all too well the temptation to cut off when you’re feeling so down, but in the long run it will make things worse. Often when I’m feeling really low I go to see my parents or older sister. Even if it’s just sitting in silence watching a bit of telly with them... the company helps.

Good that you came here to talk to us about it - it’s often helpful to vent.

Take care,

Tom
