Starting to beat me down. I also have this grinding sensation in my stomach. At my age this is really annoying and hard to deal with. I've been trying to be more social with the dating websites and meetup but this really hasn't gone anywhere. I'm still a bit obsessed with a certain someone which adds fuel to the fire (Jesus it's been four months now). Been doing therapy too. I'm really too old for all this BS. It's not depression it's just a continuous crawling along the floor and really not seeing any crutch in the future. The emptiness is growing every day and I really need a muse. Crap I just wish I had some memories to hold onto - all my pictures are just me and an empty room. Man this is hard.....

Sorry you are struggling. How do you know it's not depression? Have you asked your doc?

I know depression and physically I feel okay - I just tear up a lot. I'm sleeping okay and I don't really have that tired feeling that usually accompanies depression. Besides I'm taking anti-depressants. I need a happy pill!

I guess you believe that your relationship with the other person was ended for reasons that you know are valid, either way, it was ended. Seems like this relationship ending was a catalyst for your feelings now.
So why aren't you just bouncing back? I think it's because you are maturing, so things like this have more meaning to you. I think it's just going to take time. And, maybe in the future, you will recognize a pattern in what you do to feel so attached to someone who you end up breaking up with? I know with my last break up, I'm kinda going to be going through the healing process a long time. I was really attached and he was not. I don't know why this feels so different than other times, but, it is what it is. And it sucks. But, I know from experience, another person isn't going to take my mind off them, and another rejection or failure is not what I need. I'm ok with being alone, are you? Cuz, maybe that's what you really need, to be there for yourself be in your own skin and feeling all of it until it's done. I bet if you do that you will find that you go a long time without thinking about it, and you know, that's how it works. Sent from my SGH-T399 using Tapatalk |

Maybe you can get a mood stabilizer med added on. I don't know why, but pdocs expect us to be a lot more aware of what is available in meds. I thought that was their job!

You can be depressed and still feel physically ok. You tear up and feel sad all the time and lack motivation. And it's been going on since I first read your posts on here. Maybe your Meds needs to be adjusted

Is there any way you could volunteer at a homeless shelter, animal shelter, nursing home? I think you're sitting around and ruminating and the more you get out of yourself and help others the better off you'll be.

I read some of your earlier posting, macd, and I didn't realize, when I said what I did, that you are also dealing with long term depression, I'm new here, so like most people, I project my own thoughts feelings and experience onto what you said. I have only ever taken a really low dose of an antidepressant and only ever had very random therapy for the depression I go through, which is usually situational, and triggered by events. So, maybe I just don't understand what's happening in your inner world.
I came to this site looking for a few stories like mine and advice and dialogue on how to deal with it. I have a lot of things I could say, but it would just be more projections. Let me just say that I am sorry for your struggle, and I think I know a little how you feel, and I hope you find your balance and a way that you, yourself can feel comfortable, and at peace with it.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
