I'm sure this topic is seen every day, but I just don't know what to do now. My girlfriend and I broke up mutually quite a while ago due to essentially impossible situations after about a year. It was a fairly civil break up, and we have not stopped talking because she has pretty much been my best friend for several years. I know that isn't a good thing to do, but it's hard to let go especially since I felt like she was the one, as corny as that is. Also I have a very hard time connecting with people. Even my other friends are so busy with their girlfriends/boyfriends that I just find myself incredibly lonely and depressed to the point where I might just lay there doing nothing for hours because I don't even want to do anything. I've tried some dating sites as well, just to find myself aggravated with little to no response from people on there.

Overall I just don't know what to do from this point. It's not the first break up I've had but I have always had someone that I feel I could depend on to be there. It's also feel like it's been too long to keep feeling this way. Now I just feel like I've reached a dead-end and have nowhere else to go.

First, welcome to PC. I am glad that you are reaching out. I will say that there is something that is always true. There is always hope. I understand your feelings of hopelessness, though. I am sorry that you broke up with your girlfriend. I know if must feel very lonely but I think you will meet someone new. It may not feel like it right now or you may not even be ready but in time your outlook will improve. Do you have a therapist that you can go to? I really hope that you feel better very soon.
I can only send you (((hugs))) from afar.

Thank You. I do not have one, haven't even thought about it. I keep looking forward hoping to meet someone new but don't even know where or how to meet someone else at this point. I'm not an incredibly social person as it is, especially after it takes its toll on me for a while.
