I had a break up and it was me who messed up. I blame myself all day and constantly have dreams of her. It’s been few months. I try to smile a lot or stay busy but randomly I cry out loud and burst into tears, I think I’m depressed. I also live alone don’t have a lot of friends and I’m 36. Can you please recommend a good therapist (I know you have to try multiple to find the right one)? And what else can I do to bring my self esteem up. Thank you

It'll get worse before it gets better. Took me over a year to get past this horrid feeling. I hope it gets better for you sooner.
Time is the only healer. Just give it time and hang in there.

Do (at least one if not all of ) following even on days you don't feel like getting up from bed:
Therapy. Meditation. Running. Good food. Good friends. Explore hobbies. Volunteering at shelters.

Do NOT go into a sob fest every day. Your mind will trick you into believing that things won't get any better and you are a loser. Tell it to shut up. Get up and go about exploring the world. It'll be extremely hard to believe right now but your life is really much bigger than that one relationship. Hang in there buddy!

Hi all, I’ve been taking 15mg XR in the morning and 15mg IR as needed in the afternoon for about 2 years now and it’s helped a lot, however, when I take time off I just feel so lethargic.

I meditate and exercise as well, but I just lack energy and almost feel like the same things don’t make me happy when I’m not on my medication.

Can anyone relate?
