I appreciate your kind words.
I have been to therapy in the past and know I will undoubtedly here much of the same.
I am doing better with each passing day since I decided to sever all contact with her. You simply can't immediately go back to being a supportive friend after being walked on like a doormat. I am having trouble finding happiness again as I am alone in a town where I don't know very many people. Seems like everyone I meet here in Florida is in their own click. In time I know things will get better and better as my depression seems to be weakening.
I will continue to post as I find this site to be a most useful tool. Thanks again for the support

Welcome to the board!

Have you thought about finding a therapist to talk to?

You've been through so much stress with the moving/job change/relationship that even rock of a person would have a tough time. Any one of those events are major life stressors, so please be kind and forgiving of yourself.

Even if for a few sessions, it can be so healing to talk to someone who is just there for you. I never wanted to go to a therapist, but after my long term relationship ended, I found myself in a very dark place.

Having the extra support of a Therapist has been such a blessing in my life, and I am so thankful that I begrudingly started the process.

Please, care for yourself. No relationship is worth losing yourself over -- we are each unique and wonderful beings who deserve to find happiness. There is hope, Hopeful1!
