I have been seriously depressed for 3 mos, what do I do? My boyfriend of 2 yrs left me and I can't function.

Answer 1

while his leaving might be upsetting,you have to realize you are worthy of happiness and owe it to yourself to be so. life is so short and not worth wasting those precious moments on bad feelings. be strong and accept that everything happens for a reason, when one door closes another one opens. true happiness is found within. you are a good person. put a smile on your face and have a great day,you never know when it might be your last! : )

Answer 2

My advice is different from evrybody else's but I was in the same situation as you mere months ago - I was so depressed I literally unable to function - and I found the following to be more beneficial than therapy:

1) Go to the gym and start lifting weights, and follow the Zone diet. (All doctors agree its extremely healthy; its given to everyone from cancer patients to Olympic athletes.) If you do these two things, you will Get Gorgeous, and fast! You will feel a whole lot better, I promise.

2) While you're working on that, start taking lap dance classes and/or pole dance classes; - or bellydancing classes - they all are surprisingly therapeutic.

3) Read the book Secrets About Life Every Woman Should Know, by Barbara Deangelis. I have read about a million self-help / spiritual / psychology books in my life, and this one is THE BEST, really. It helped me so much...

During your absolute worst moments, pray or chant a mantra. The Gayatri mantra helped me.

Please try my advice; I really know it will help.
I wish you the best...

Tried emailing you but...

Hi Mel.
You're depressed about a break-up. I'm not too experienced in break-ups, but I have been down for awhile. I just keep plugging away - hoping for something better some day. I guess it's not the greatest way to go about it. But that's how I've been doing it. I could tell you that the best way to not feel alone is to go out and help others who feel worse than you; but I don't take that advice myself; so you can ignore it too, if you want.
I keep looking at my life and seeing lots of things that aren't going well, or things that have gone really bad. I'm trying to see things - even the bad things - as having good posibilities. Maybe even the bad things are like that as a test, or to put me through a "fire" to burn away what is not needed.
I just want to wish you the best, and keep your head up. There are better things waiting, (I hope).

Answer 4

I have to agree with both Gary and Bean... you need to see a doctor, depression can cause lots of problems... physically and emotionally for you and the people around you... Depression is not something to be ashamed of..it is caused by a chemical imbalance. Also... as Bean says..it may be hard that your ex left but you have to know that you are worth more... If he left that gives you the opportunity to concentrate on getting yourself taken care of. ... If money is an option there are plenty of places that you can Get help based on your income, sometimes even free. If you need some help send me an email Ill be happy to give you some sources for doctors....

Good luck to you

Answer 5

I am very sorry about your break up, I can relate with you, it is hard, but honey you have got to get past it. The first thing is to cry your eyes out, cry until you feel you don't have one more tear, then make yourself stop thinking about him. It is really hard, I know, but he hasn't stopped his life over you.Get your mind involved with something else, school, work, gardening,prayer,anything.
Get up and brush yourself off, you may fall again in an hour or maybe tommorow and that's ok for a little while, just get up and brush yourself off again,and again,until you get past it.
In your Bible read Psalms 102:1 thru 12, when you first read this you will cry, because it will sound like what you are going thru,and the Lord knew there would be days like this for some of us and in his book, his words, and his arms we will find comfort.
There are medications for depression and maybe you need some to help you thru this time, but no pill is going to help until you set your mind and heart on the goal of getting over it. I really hope this has helped.
Best Wishes

Answer 6

The first thing I would do is get to a doctor, and explain your situation. There are several good medications out there to help treat depression. Second, I would seek counseling - it may be something you've heard a million times, but it DOES help. Good luck!

Answer 7

i feel your pain i was married 4 yrs and my wife cheated on me with one of my friends,so i have personal experience. depression is a serious medical condition and a Dr.can give you antidepressant meds. although it did not work for me.i found the best thing for me was hanging out with family and friends and got my self back to the gym,and even found a little religion along the way. the biggest thang is not to set around and feel sorry for yourself that will only make it worse

Answer 8

See a doctor right away.

I'm not suggesting that you go looking for drugs to numb the pain or anything, but lasting depression needs to be addressed before it becomes a way of life.

Answer 9

" thousand of miles u ve troubled but still u can see the stars twinkling if u try to look above "

Answer 10

Go see a doctor right away. It may be something that medication can help, or perhaps talk therapy will work for you. Either way, you'll need to work with someone to get through this.

And my best to you...breakups are never easy to deal with.
