...that whole "how am I going to cope without them?" thing? Having that right now.
 <-- that emote is an understament. I'm not on about death, btw, although I suppose that's a viable thought process for people in those situations... I'm referring to a love interest you've been strongly connected to for almost a year.

My suggestion is to get active and busy yourself. And avoid checking up on them.

Hello IchbinkeinTeufel: The Skeezyks doesn't really have any particularly useful suggestions here.
 Over the years, I've been on various antidepressants, sometimes in combination with other med's. Plus I've seen a few different therapists for brief periods of time. None of it was of much help.  So, in the end, I've turned to the various "self-help" techniques contained within the practice of Buddhism.  And, in keeping with those techniques, what I do in situations such as you describe is to simply strive to accept what I am feeling... with lovingkindness & compassion.

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