Hi Jim. I'm sorry that you are feeling so badly. Heartache is such a painful experience. And depression makes it that much harder to bear.

I'm going to be a little bold now, Jim and tell you that as badly as you feel, try to find some satisfaction in the fact that you felt this way about another person. It means you are capable of loving and loving deeply. What a wonderful gift you have to give.

As for antidepressants, don't let them scare you off, Jim. You won't turn into a zombie or anything. They just help you get things back in perspective to some degree, I find.
