I posted a few weeks ago about how my GF's son was driving me to be symptomatic. As much as I hate to hurt people, I had to break the relationship off. She was very upset and apologetic, but I could not continue to be in that environment. I told her that I was not interested in a relationship with anyone because of my major depression and PTSD. Now I find my self calm in the quiet of a peaceful house, but alone. It is not really registering as a loss, but not really a gain either. Loneliness with depression is a sad place to be. Not sure where to go from here except focus on work and get my symptoms to calm down.

Hi BornToFly, yes I remember you/your post........and it sounds like you've done just the right thing!!!
And well done on putting yourself/your well-being first!!!!
I can understand it must be real quiet now, after so much going on around you........and everything might seem too quiet/lonely/empty without that (and without her even)
But let's keep the focus on you........you know the relationship and everything that went with it was hurting you, right?? So now you..........you have got more freedom to find things in your life that can actually help you e.g. meetings, a different church, time to rest, time to very gradually build up/on friendships...........so take it at your own pace, hey???
One step at a time, and keep putting yourself first.
Another relationship/a better relationship can always come along when you're ready, but no rush, hey??!!
