Sorry to hear what you are going through Glenjo. I had some pretty dark days myself of just crying all day, not eating, not getting out of bed which was early on when I left. I don’t have those kind of days anymore but there are still times I am sad. It is a rollercoaster and I hope you are feeling better.

Feeling Better

Just focus on doing whatever you can to feel better. We never know what lies ahead and many of this forum focus on grieving and focusing on the 100 things that were negative about the relationship to get over it. I don't suggest doing any of that. I just suggest focusing on coping and grounding and leaving the rest up to a presence or power greater then yourself, whatever you understand that to be,

When my ex-fiance left me, I journaled like you could not believe. I went through one notebook in two weeks. I read philosophy to remind myself that my sorrow, as vast as it was, was also very insignificant. Millions of human beings experience the same sorrow and pain and are asking the same questions. My pain was just a mere thread in the great human tapestry. I know. It's a very strange, odd way to comfort myself. But it worked.
I also hiked long distances every single weekend. Hiking was great because I could be alone with my thoughts, but it also required me to remain alert so I wouldn't do something stupid, like fall off a ledge. There were occasions where I would just seek some desolate destination and scream and cry and shake my fist to the sky.
I did all these things, and yet five months later I would still be sitting at my office desk, trying to stifle my sobs.
But eventually I learned how to love life again.
