You and I are in the same boat right now. I had to break up with my long term girlfriend after I finally got fed up enough with her drinking problems. (I'll explain in another thread) Anyway, I learned a long time ago that in every break-up situation. Mutual or not, there is always a winner and a loser. The winner is typically the person who is able to let go and move on the quickest with the least amount of depression. In this situation, even though I broke up with her, I'm the loser. So my old friend depression has returned. I went through a 6 month depression after an old girlfriend 3 years ago and I learned alot during that time. I went through many days where the first thing I thought of was her and it hurts. It was so bad that I thought "Well, you're alive, I guess you'll just have to make it through another day." You have to remind yourself everyday that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel and that it is just a phase. We'll both pull through this time together.
