Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Let's start by saying that I'm not necessarily used to not getting things my way. That isn't at all true, but it's still something that coule be said. So when reality ruined my magical place of happiness, where love was real and relationships actually lasted because people weren't complete dumbasses, can you imagine the amount of cognitive dissonance I had to put up in order to not fall into a state of sadness? It's mind boggling. Really, I can hardly imagine a world where reality is a thing and where I will actually have to deal with my problems. But that's the thing. There's no problem to deal with. The only thing I can do is be passive and move on because that's what you do. There's no control over anything and some people never get a chance at happiness. Luck may strike and I'll be one of those people. Happiness isn't real anyways. Nothing is real.

It is true we do not have control over a good 50% of life, we have our choices, we do the things we need to put ourselves in the careers, and cities, and places in life we want to be. Then life does the work of putting people in our path that become friends, best friends, boyfriends/girlfriends, partners and spouses. So you only get to control so much, as for the rest of it, you just get to live your life, making decisions that make you happy and be ready for the people and places that life puts in your path.
The end of a relationship hurts, it's not quite as quick and done as you describe in your post. You grieve that loss, just as you would any other. Allow yourself time to do so. Let yourself get back to you and who you are as a single happy person. Then when you're ready, you'll get back out there and see who life has in store for you.
Take care,
