Major Depression After Breakup

I broke up with my bf a month ago and my depression seems to be getting worse.  I am really scared that I will lose my job because it is pretty mentally challenging - not something you can do with major depression.  I waste all this time thinking about reaching out to him even though I know he was not good for me and do not want a romantic relationship with him - I just really miss the companionship I guess.  I am in no shape to be trying to meet someone new.  There is a local depression support group meetup but it takes place too late at night for me - messing up my sleep makes my depression worse than anything else.  I would really like to make some friends on here to talk to....

Are you on any meds for your depression? Have you seen a doctor for your depression? That's something needs taken care of. Breakups are difficult, yes. The best way to distract your mind is to stay busy, busy, busy. In the meantime, it'll improve better

girl, I know the feeling. I am not going through a break up, but my depression is getting the best of me and I just moved across the country and I have no friends or job currently. Anyway, I could also really use someone to talk to. Maybe we can help each other out? I'd love to talk more.

Jennifer i am going through something very similar. My husband and i just separated last week and its tearing me up pretty bad. God willing i have been able to get myself up and come to work every day but those people around me dont seem to care too much about how this is affecting me. And today i woke up very depressed with it all. You can talk to me anytime girl. It helps having people close who truly do understand what we are going through.

Jennifer. First of all know that people care about you. Have you talked with your doctor about your depression? Many times they can help, and how about checking into a different support group that would be more workable for you?

Does your job have a human resource department? Many time they have an employee assistance program to help with just what you are describing. Might be worth checking out.

I would be more than happy to chat with you here. Are you a believer? If so, don't forget that Jesus has promised to never leave you or forsake you. He is as close as your prayers. There have been times in my life where I battled with depression and He was what helped me get through.

Take care.
