Glenn--
Also remember you are grieving. You've just lost
someone you loved, and it takes time to heal and
feel better. It's natural to feel sad right now.
Make sure you are taking good care of yourself. Make
sure your meds (if you take them) are adjusted to
the level they need to be to handle this bumpy time.
Try to reach out to some of the people you socialize
with. You don't need to tell them about your depression,
but you could tell them about your broken heart. That's
something most people can empathize with and relate
to. I'm going through the same thing. Just losing the
man I've been close with and my constant companion for
3 years. I feel unbearably lonely and sad sometimes,
and have a tendency to be critical of myself about the
whole thing. I've found it helps to _really_ lean
hard on my friends. I feel pathetic sometimes, but it
does help to talk about it. If you ever want to email
me, feel free to. Hang in there. This pain is hard,
but it won't last. There is light at the end of the
tunnel and you will love and be loved, again. Love yourself
in the meantime. And again, adjust meds if need be.
