I have been through the progam, but feel I must go through again. Things were going in the right direction and I was attempting to get off the lexapro. I just had a 2 year relationship end (her idea) and now have the anxiety, obsession thinking about it, not sleeping properly etc. The thng that is so strange is all the time I was dating her, I was not sure if she was the one for me. Now that she is gone, I am miserible. I cannot figure that out.

Thanks for the support everyone. I have started some meds, prozac and ativan. I hope this gets me over the hump until the program arrives. I will do the homework and I am committed because I want to get better and enjoy my life. Thank you for the kind words. DIAA

Your post is very approachable. If you are so strong believer in success in life then like to share one thing with you. There is an e-book <A HREF="http://www.succcess.org/" TARGET=_blank>http://www.succcess.org/</A> which depicts the description of the success in life. I hope you will like to go through it.

dear INDTom, maybe it's not her you miss so much as it is the companionship. It's hard to be alone. but if you weren't sure that she was right for you after 2yrs. then she probably wasn't.I'm in the same boat right now.I try to end it, but keep going back.I miss the companionship but when I'm alone it's hard to meet new people.keep looking! when it's the right one you will feel it in your gut, promise.

thanks for the note. It really helps to know someone else is going though this.

My marriage ending is what sent me on a downward spiral (due to her having an affair). Fortunately I had friends who had been through this and were able to hold my hand and let me know what to expect. Granted it is different for everybody, but you basically lose your identity and need to build it back up. Definitely not easy by any means, but being around positive people, exercising, and reading positive books, etc. really helped me out. If you are Christian, a great book that I am reading now is Joel Osteens "Your Best Life Now". A friend bought me this, and what a great book, very uplifting! Just hang in there, it is a day by day process and you can't think too far ahead, just try to enjoy today, be a little selfish and do what you want to do!!
