Thank you so much everyone for your posts! I am feeling a bit brighter today, but I know I can have better phases and then come crashing down again, I guess if I crash down again I know I can come up again.
I went to a yoga class today at a yoga centre and they have classes daily and in the eves so it feels like I have somewhere to go to escape sometimes Otherwise I am home alone most eves.
I will check in tomorrow
Just popping in to check up on you and see how you're doing.
I hope this day finds you feeling more hopeful and valuable and I hope you'll keep posting any time you're feeling down. And hey- post when you're feeling up too okay?
Well I've got to tend my animals and get showered and settled in after work - just wanted to say hi so...............
Hiya, I was just reading your post again, I wanted to tell you how helpful your posts are, THANK YOU
What animals do you have?
Catch up tomorrow, enjoy the rest of your day

I have dogs and I feed the wild birds outside. I live in the country so I see all sorts of birds and other wildlife here- it's wonderful! Tonight I had a buck (male whitetail deer) eating apples that have fallen from the tree. He came at dusk and ate his fill. I also have turkey, opossum, raccoons, moles, voles, hawks, buzzards, rabbits, owls, bats, coyotes, and bigfoot. Okay no bigfoot but everything else is true!
I saw in one of your posts that you were lamenting that there are no groups in the UK for heartbreak. Perhaps you could start one!
I'm glad to read that you are taking measures to simplify your life and allow you more freedom to get away from the house. It helps to get out and move about, huh?
Your posts sound more hopeful and positive and that inspires me! That's great!
Hi there. Listen, 4 months is not all that much time to heal. What your going through is very normal. Things take time, so give yourself that time and you will be just fine.

I'm not doing well today, have a PMT headache so feel too rough to go out today, so I'm stuck at home alone, not spoken to a soul and no-one around to chat to online either. I will go insane if I don't get out tomorrow.
I also hate living in this house we shared but don't have much chance to move.
I feel really p***** off but maybe that's partly PMT, I've felt it for a couple of days.
I've been online most of the day, when I do that I feel myself getting more and more depressed, I feel too c*** to do anything else though. Hopefully will be able to get out tomorrow.

Have you considered talking with a therapist about what you've been going through? Maybe you need to be really listened to by someone, a professional, who can help relieve what your going through.
Hi, yes been seeing a relationship one since he left, but cant afford to see her every week Have been trying to see one thru my doc, finally going to see if I am eligible for one next tuesday-more hoops to jump thru, at first my doc didnt even think I was depressed

Yes, I know that feeling... the depression. I hated those weekends where I didn't have to go to work because then I'd stay home. All. Weekend.
The last time I felt like that was October 25. Then I discovered something. I discovered that it was up to me to commit to doing things. I had signed up for a class that day, but because I was depressed, I didn't want to go. I made myself go. I told myself I had already signed up and I couldn't back out now. Think of all the new opportunities I would miss with that kind of attitude!
So I guess what I'm trying to say is this: make sure you are doing things that are good for you, and not just letting your depression take over.
Thank you sweetie
I do make myself go out most days rather than sit and wallow, I've got 2 voluntary jobs I do and a yoga group, plus see friends when they're able. Today is bad as I felt too unwell to go out
The voluntary jobs have kept me sane, I am proud of myself for keeping going to them when all I wanted to do was stay in bed, I've had to REALLY force myself to do it, because the alternative of staying at home alone is far worse.

Oh, that's right! You work yourself like crazy! How could I forget... how odd it must be to stay home then, I take it you don't do that often.
Maybe invite a friend over? Something to help ease the thoughts that are troubling you today...
Well I'm out a lot of the time, but in on my own most eves, my friends are usually too busy, too tired, you name it, so I'm trying to get used to my own company even though I hate being alone so much.
I used to be at home most of the time caring for the birds, but I don't do that much now as I want to get out the house, and I don't have the heart for it a the moment.
There aren't many days since he left that I've been stuck in all day as I make sure I go out.
