I know, I know... what is new with this sort of thing.

I met this incredible, intelligent, intellectual guy at a bipolar depression support group. We met in January and just started talking about 5 weeks ago, then dated for 3 weeks. It went fast. There was a deep connection, getting serious, then he broke it off. He has spent the last 4 years alone. He is shy, low self esteem. No real friends. I was completely smitten. He knew all about my problems from the support group sharing. And he was still very interested. We spent 10 hours together at a time on one date. I was very smitten.

Then he broke it off, citing things we don't have in common. I am just devastated. I know this is not normal behavior, to go so fast, then break up. But he is such an incredible, unusual, unique, enlightened, love filled being. I think he is afraid of being so vulnerable. But it broke my heart. I was so happy for a few weeks. (Combination of him, new Celexa Rx, and spring finally arriving).

I am depressed now, but not the horrible depression I had earlier this year that involved no emotion at all. This is a sadness and grief depression, which, for me, is not as bad.

I am trying the usual- yoga, keep busy, talk to friends.
Unfortunately, i dont feel I can go back to the support grp because he went there for 3 years, although he says I should go and he will take a vacation from it.

I feel such a loss. Guys with that level of sensitivity and enlightenment are few.
