I've been lurking here the past week or two, not really needing to post up till now, so here I am, back again.


I am REALLY down in the dumps and not sure how to pull out of it.

lost, I understand and do know that feeling. I bet many of us here have felt it at one point or the other. There are many possiblities why you feel so sad and depressed. You miss the affair. You miss the closeness and the sharing you had with him. The friendship.

Hi LAG,


Missing them is normal. It is ok to visit those feelings as long as you don’t dwell on them or act on them. It is very normal to feel that way.

Hi,


I just wanted to say I think Empowerment is right.

E1 - nice catch. I agree with your post 100%.

LAG - big hugs sweetie. I've been there too and my heart goes out to you. I have been on Effexor for a little while now, and it has helped me tremendously to cope with everything. Ending an A is a big life change and one that is not to be taken lightly in terms of how it impacts our well-being. I was also in T for a year (started a few months before ending the A, I was miserable). It really helped me move on and be a happier person. I am 1 million percent happier than at this time last year. I recommend you follow E1's advice,

xoxo

Trixie,


Thank you for being so open on this board and sharing your physical, spiritual, and psychological journey to end you A.


My daughter is also on Effexor and it changed her life. She started on it in her late teens and is now an adult.

Hi Jenimall,


Thanks for sharing what helped you after ending A.


Most of us will go to the dr. in a heartbeat if something is physically ailing us but there is still a lot of stigma around going to a psychologist or a psychiatrist. Our overall health includes taking care of ourselves on the psychological level too.


I hope what you shared will encourage others to seek the help of a dr. if they are struggling in any area of their health.


Much love,


E1
