I have had two of my best friends relationships end. We all hung around as couples and now everything is so different.

Of course you are grieving your loss. I think everybody feels that way once and awhile. Trust me, I know from great experience. When you are going through something hard. Just try to find something positive in it all. It can always get worse. And try to focus on spending your time making yourself happier. :) Good luck!

Change is never easy. I do think it's normal to feel depressed over the loss of friends for any reason. The good thing is that life goes on and new people will come into your life to fill the void. Just give it some time. I am a firm believer that people come into our lives for a reason. Some stay longer than others but there is a purpose or something to learn from all of them. I wish you well.

of course it is natural to be depressed about major changes going on in your life. Friendships are important social support systems and when those change, it makes us feel very uncertain and even vulnerable. Try to maintain your friendships as best as you can, but if those are permanent changes, then it would be a good idea to seek out newer avenues of social friendship and support as well. The fact that you know how to make and maintain those types of friendships is a good sign that you can do it again. These types of changes come and go--it's how you handle them...And I wish your friends good luck in their relationships.

it is common, but don't let yourself think that its okay. the world doesn't stop for someone's grief. don't seek sympathy from others, don't let yourself think that because such big trauma happened you can take a break. thats what will get you more depressed is taking a break or feeling hopeless. life goes on and you need to with it. its hard, but needed.
well answer to the question: yes it is common, happened to me last year.. and a few other ppl that i know

Yep, common to be depressed. You have to re-invent yourself. Find out who you are, not the person you were in a relationship. Find yourself and everything else will fall into place.

Yes this is common. however if it stays for more then a month and does not seem to get better or start to go away then you may need medical attention and medicine for it and possibly even counseling to help you get past the pain of it.

Bummer- it's natural to feel sad when you have a sense of loss. It's human. The dynamic of your friendship circle may change, but be sure to protect YOUR relationship from any damaging effects this may have.

Same things happened to me, but you'll eventually get over it. Yes, it may seem depressing at the moment, but time can heal whats damaged.
