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.
Really having a hard time moving on from a relationship. I see thus person all the time at work and cant get away from her or over my feelings. I have been so depressed and suicidal. It just feels like the wounds are ripped open again every time I have to see or hear her. I don't know how to handle my emotions other than by harming myself. There is no one to talk to or anyone that understands. Its so hard to keep going. Sorry just needed to vent.
Can you get another job, or get a transfer that puts some distance between the two of you?
How are your prospects for a new love interest? There is a lot of truth to the saying that the best way to mend a broken heart is with a new love.
Are you clinging to things that remind you of her?
(If her initials are JGB then you might want to consider changing your user name. It can be done and still let you keep all your friends, goals, hugs, etc)
Just some ideas,
Gentle hugs
Have you tried any creative outlets to express your feelings, like writing, music, painting, building something, etc?
I'm sorry that you're going through this. Don't apologize for wanting to vent. I hope you'll stay active on this thread and let us know how you're doing.
There was someone I genuinely thought I'd never get over; it took a VERY long time for the pain of the breakup to go away and I didn't get interested in anyone else in the meantime. I thought I never would. But impossible as it seemed I have now completely moved on and am with someone else that I wouldn't trade for my ex for anything.
Do give it the time it needs though, and don't try and force new relationships if you aren't feeling it. Just take it a day at a time and keep going.
Big hugs to you!
