Thanks, leo. The ending of a relationship that once held promise is a very great loss. It's not so different from my loss. You had placed hopes and expectations on being with someone who you thought would be there for you, sharing the joys and struggles of life. Then you saw your hopes misplaced and made the decision to end it. That leaves a very large void where all that hope had been. My guess is that you've grieved over this loss.

Feelings of defeat and fatigue are miserable. Wellbutrin is a fairly benign drug compared to a lot of others, in terms of side effects. At least that's my impression. I think I was on it briefly once, long ago. You probably should give it a try and see how you feel on it. I hope we both find a way to feel less defeated. Fatigue plagues us right when it takes a good bit of energy to move forward.
Thanks for this!
