cant get over being left, and being a single parent...

[howlowcanigo]

partner left last july, and i dont seem to be able to get over it, it was obviously worse at first and recently have started to feel slightly better, but i still think about it all the time, and think about him and her and the great life they seem to be leading, and i feel so low,

Few people have seen them together recently and she is tall, slim, nice long hair etc, and it makes me feel so low,to think how attrctive she is, (although i know looks arent everything)

The weekends i find very hard and i havent a clue how i will get through this long weekend ahead, i work in the week so that seems to go by nicely but the weekends are awful, unless its payday and we can afford to go to farm etc,

I have been considering going to gp, but dont know if there is a magic pill i can take to make me feel better, it is a constant dark cloud over my life, i want to be able to get over him and move on from it, he has!!!!!!

he said i am moderately depresed, from the assessment he did of me, was worried at first as wasnt my usual doc, and he was very young, he said some really nice things to me and had me crying from what he was saying, he gave me some tablets, and wants me back in 2 weeks to check me over,

thanks for your support,

hope you feel brighter soon .... x

my partner left me when dd was 1 (now 5) howlowcanigo and I was a complete wreck for a long time, I had a really bad time.
I however ignored my behaviour and attitue which went on for so long. I think I knew somewhere inside that I wasn't dealing with being left at all but I couldn't admit it to myself or anyone else for a long time.
12 months ago I woke up one morning and thought I can't do this any more..I still hadn't let go, and went to my gp. I'm on antid's now which have helped a lot, but more than anything talking about it has helped me enormously. I hardly recognise myself these days :) I am happy, I enjoy life I actually am enjoying being single!
I know exactly how you feel, I spent so much time there but there is light at the end of the tunnel. Go see your GP, if only to talk about it! Do things for yourself, get the girls round and watch a girly film, have a laugh, go to the hairdressers anything :)
Also since I've gotton a hold of my life I have been able to see that ex's life isn't all I convinced myself it was, I'm having a much better time of things than him, and I have dd every day and will have that relationship with her - he won't!
Treat yourself, and don't think about how pretty people say she is, she could be making his life hell all the same..hopefully! lmao
Good luck
