After 6 months of hell, of not being able to let go of hope of getting my ex back- even when she told me we would never be together again, i have finally come to the point where i have let go of that hope.

I am in a dangerous place right now. Hope is a dangerous thing to lose.

My depression isnt as strong at nights- usually i just mellow out and am able to put everything to the back of my mind,

but mornings...
Mornings are hell. I lay in bed for 3 hours til 3 pm, faced with the full force of my loss and my pain.

Mornings were bad before, but now that ive lost hope, who knows the black abyss that awaits.

Tonight i sit on the precipice, waiting through the calm before the storm.

Keep me in your thoughts as i descend into hell...

You'll be okay, don't lose yourself over a woman.

Just remember that you don't need another person to make you whole. It may feel, at times, that it's impossible to cope without that person...but in reality, you only need yourself to truly be complete. That means that if you feel empty and lost without her, you are only trying to fill some other gap in your life.

Work on your interests, your hobbies. Spend time taking care of yourself and doing what you want to do. Hone your talents. Work hard. Hang out with friends, family. Enjoy life. Do whatever it takes to fill that void in your life that was previously filled by her. It doesn't need to be filled with a woman; you can make it on your own...

Firstly, let me congratulate you on being able to get over someone you were previously in a relationship with. You clearly believed it could work, and no doubt invested a lot of time in the relationship, so its failure is therefore making you feel hurt and bitter. This is a normal reaction. You must remember not to blame yourself though, because for whatever reason your ex has decided to move on, and although it hurts, this is the only option for you.

Everyone has been in that position where we secretly believe we'll get back with someone even though it has been explained otherwise. I think it's the process of rejection which tears us apart, because that in itself feels like a failure and can only be taken personally. Yet, despite knocks like this, you have to find a way of re-gaining your self-confidence and getting back up and starting again. You need to use the support of family and friends to help you feel better about yourself, start new hobbies or carry on existing ones to forget about the negative thoughts.

I think it took you so long to get over the split because to begin with you had low confidence and self-esteem which she was probably aware of. Therefore, you reacted badly and couldn't get up again. Added to that, you say you suffer from depression and so things seemed unbearable beforehand, and this hasn't helped.

I think it would be wise to make an appointment with your doctor explaining your physical symptoms (lethargy which is actually part of depression), and that you feel terrible mentally.

Good luck.
