I know this may sound cliché, but you know you have to truly love yourself before anything. That's what depression robs you of, is that ability to love yourself. I know those 'pangs' of hurt from when I have lost in the past, and one of the best things you can try now is to target your 'symptoms'. That may mean aggressive medication dosing. It also may mean forcing yourself to attend a group meeting, just to make connections with others, and reaffirm your value as a great human being. I believe very strongly that once you get some of the very extreme symptoms under control, you can then move forward with your life, love and be loved. I can almost guarantee you...you will surely find a great difference when the two above mentioned are treated. Life is way, way to short for you to be 'stuck', and you *absolutely* owe it to yourself. You may quite strongly surprise yourself.
Best and hope...
Jay
