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.

Thank you for your compassion rose76. I’m guessing that was the year you were born in?
I think what’s so difficult for me is that my ex bf wants to continue to be my bf but I can’t be around someone who smokes and drinks and uses and doesn’t believe in God, and who also is incredibly intertwined with his mother in a way that even my 20 year old daughter is not enmeshed with me.
I’m grieving the loss of the dream that this time it would be different . I’m definitely ready to give up on relationships for awhile. I compromised so much without knowing it.
I keep thinking if only I had held on to my ex husband, then I see pictures of him and know I couldn’t have.
I did try Wellbutrin for a couple of weeks.
I hope in your case you are able to find a solution for your anemia. That is rough.
