Nervous Breakdown

I've turned gay.....and loving it...

Somebody help me! I really think I'm having a nervous breakdown.

I just recently went through a very nasty breakup with someone whom I thought was the love of my life. I've tried to get him back, but I think he's done. In the past few weeks since our breakup, I've been super depressed, can't eat, can't sleep, I've been drinking a lot (which I rarely ever do), and have had serious temper tantrums. I am very much a people person, but I'd rather just sit in my room under the covers watching the XM Satellite channels on Directv. I don't want to be around people. I feel like I never smile anymore, my nerves are shot.

I'm thinking about just walking into the hospital and saying "check me in", but don't know if I should maybe go see a shrink.

Please help me - I'm at my wits end, and don't want to be the person I have become in the last month.

Serious replies only please. I don't think I could take any nasty comments. :sad:

Sorry to hear this happen to you.Please try and stop the drinking it will make you feel worse.I have seen someone turn to drink after a divorce and they aged about 20 years in a year and became very mean and bitter. I know it will be hard but try and channel your sadness and anger in something else.
Hope I do not sound patronising.
Things will feel better but I know saying that now to you sounds crappy .
Take care

At first I just thought you were just fat. Now I can see you're a fat b!tch.

As a fellow Red B Sox fan, I know you can handle this. Please do stop by a hospital ER or stay with a close friend or relative if you can't shake it.

Don't hang around the "Politics" Forum - there is no happiness there...

I have found the best way to deal with stress is a nice long walk or a good workout. It is how I unwind from a long day at the office - which might not be like ending a relationship, but it surely is depressing...

You, Bob, are awesome! But where would you sleep?

Sleep? Who's going to sleep??

Bob. That's what you get for marrying an old dude.

How can that be? As many times as the Steelers took the Super Bowl away from the Cowboys in the seventies....I am die hard Cowboys, so therefore hate the Steelers! Although, the Cowboys had redemption in '96 and beat them.

And just when I was beginning to think you were a smart man!!!!
Cowboys SUCK!!!!!

you need "you" back before you can deal with any of this. I have a suggestion though. Think and really remember, evaluate the situation.
What was it about him that really annoyed you? was he never around..did he not notice your hair if you got it done? was he messy? tis the time to get angry at him for taking the time of your life that he did...this may help get you out of the funk..and into the swing again..get mad

I'm right there with you nacho. The love of my life left me for someone else a month before we were to be married. 2 months later and I'm still very much lost. But I'm slowly moving on with my life. I'm starting to find out from the bar scene that most of the people out and about are only there because they have found themselves alone and are looking for someone. Most of them really don't want to be there but what are you supposed to do. Hang in there hon. It does get easier.

That really sucks but thank God this happened BEFORE the wedding. Just think of how much worse it could have been. I'm glad you're starting to find that time does make things a little easier.

It was the first time in my life that I truly loved another and was looking forward to spending the rest of my life with her. All was going great until a month before she told me she found another and was leaving. Literally, it all fell apart after I put the ring on her finger.

 

[dontknowwhy]

I could tell something was on her mind and when I asked what was going on she would say "nothing. everything's fine." well, the guilt finally got the best of her and she told me what happened. And just like that she was gone.

In the 5 1/2 yrs we spent together, we maybe had 3 arguments. Otherwise, everything was great. Not just good but great. Love attention romance open communication. Then I asked her to marry me and it went straight to ****

That stinks, but better now than later.

Yeah. I'm going through the motions, I put on a fake smile, I'm the happy go lucky guy I've always been, but when the day is over and I'm in that empty house....but every day gets a little better.

You people can't be serious?

 

[dontknowwhy]

So to you Nachomamma, I say go out this weekend, let people know what's going on, and you'll be surprised at how much love & support you'll get from all. And you'll be surprised at how many of us are going through it this year. And right now, you'll get shoulders to cry on and hear others experiences and feelings about our losses. But if you think you're gonna get a lot of offers for one night stands, everyone knows your not ready for that yet.

 

[dontknowwhy]

very much serious catt.
