Me and my gf broke up after 5 years, I feel like I m running on empty. Getting with other girls doesn?t matter to me. I just wana booze and listen to sad songs. I feel pretty depressed. We had broke up before and got back together a year later, and I still loved her. I still do. I don?t want to go into the reasons. I just need help. I feel like going to the doctor, my stomach is in knots, my chest hurts, and I don?t feel like eating. I feel heart broken. I think its depression setting in. :(

Yes, you have the classic syptoms. Is there anyone you can talk to like a friend, family member or maybe even a therapist?

You just broke up, it's normal to feel like sh!t. You'll get over it. Get some sleep or get drunk with your friends.

It helps to remember that all this youre feeling is just chemical reactions in your brain.

if these feelings persist for more than two weeks you need to see a doctor.

5 years is basically a divorce. And depression goes along with it.

eat, sleep, excercise, talk - meet the basic needs.

If you want help to avoid things getting worse, go see your GP. Tell them how you feel and what the symptoms are. Work out approximately how much you drink per week and include that. They may ask you questions for stuff you hadn't thought of but answer honestly. If it turns out to be depression, you'll have professional help on your side and a quicker route to recovery.

You mean CNS depressant by "depresant," right? Not that it makes you depressed... :)

I dont want to tell my freinds. I just dont want that label. I would feel ashamed, they all see me as lively and fun. They think i got it all worked out and have no problems.

Thing is, we broke up for a year and i was with plenty of girls and booze ups and wild nights, but i still loved her. Then we got back, and after another 9 months we just finished. Think i need medication. Sorry if this seems like a cry for attention but I feel like shes died.

Coming from somebody who's been there that is the worst thing you can do.

Lean on your friends/support circle. Get some counseling. Talk to your doctor. If you take action you can nip it in the bud before it gets full blown.

Everybody gets it once in their lifetime. Now deal with it by taking the appropriate action (GP, friends/family, excercise, sleep, eat, etc)

I know you can't keep food down but you have to eat and you have to sleep.

feeling like crap over a break up is one thing. depression is a whole 'nutter thing and usually accompanies such an event and can last for years if you don't do something about it.

I want to get rid of these feelings I really do, I feel powerless and cant see the point to anything. She was my life.

I know what you're going through. My gf of 3 years broke up with me 6 months ago. I still feel like this... Other girls do not help... All I want to do is just go to work and not sit home alone, just keep your self around people, friends or not, it usually helps.

when i get depressed I just exercise, typically biking. It really helps when the adreline settles in.
