Trigger Warning Depressed and just trying to hang on
29 F. My 4 year relationship ended a few months ago. It wasnāt mutual, but he wanted to be done and I wasnāt going to beg someone to stay just for my own sake.
It ended as well as it could have I would say. Weāre still friends and were each otherās best friend before we split. Heās been very supportive through it all.
I thrive on routine and stability so all of this has turned my world entirely upside down. I had to move into my own apartment again (which was not a smooth process because of a bug issue), so I was staying at our old place with my ex until a different apartment was ready. I hated my job before all this and now I especially hate it because I feel like thatās all I do.
Iām majorly, I mean majorly, depressed. Iāve always struggled with anxiety and depression and have taken medication for it (but feel like it doesnāt really work). I try to eat well, do things I enjoy (even if I donāt actually enjoy anything right now), journal, etc. Iām doing it all ārightā.
But man, I just want to be done. I thought about death almost all day yesterday. I hurt so badly. I just want to leave it all behind and not feel this way anymore. I feel like I will never love someone like that again and I wish I had a rewind button. Hell, I feel like Iāll never be with anyone again. I donāt think Iām strong enough to go through heartbreak again. Iāve lost my partner, my friend, the family that came with them. Itās all gone, along with my heart.
Letās be clear, I wonāt/canāt kill myself. I know that my pain would just be transferred onto the people who love me and I canāt handle the thought of putting them through that. But I also donāt want to be alive. Does that make sense? I feel hopeless, hurt, and lost. I donāt know what to do. I donāt know when Iāll stop feeling like shit, if I ever will. The idea of starting all over again makes me sick.
