writes: I miss my x best friend(with Bennefits) so much it hurts. He was my best friend. Always there wheather I needed him or not. It was a very different relationship as it started when my boyfriend(x) started to abuse me. Robert was always there.. we fell in love. The saddest part is that there were many issues that came up that kept us apart, mostly my relationship with my x. Always trying to make it work. It was doomed and I knew it. Robert was a keeper for all intence and purposes. There were a few things that got in the way (of an extreamly personal nature) that I could not accept. In the end as one would expect neither of the relationships worked out. Both did the same thing which put me in a major depression and I still have not gotten out of it. I just miss our friendship so much. He's very depressed and can't even seem to get out of his house. I call it a dungeon. His dog is dying and he's just sitting there waiting and keeping him alive when you know he's not well and should be put down for his own good. It's really so very sad. I can't even reach out because anything I say triggers a fight when all I really want for him is to move on and live again. I don't know.. maybe this isnt' a question.. as I know the answers.. I just hurt.. and miss him so much.. Venting....

Sorry to hear you are in a difficult place in your life. Depression is a difficult thing to experience and people will want to tell you to "snap out of it." Not as easy as that, is it?
Please see your doctor for some guidance. Nurture yourself. Read about the stages of grief, which may help explain what you are experiencing. That will give you something else to think about.
I love yoga for helping balance mind and body. I would recommend that you find a great teacher and get into it. The compassionate self-awareness you gain is worth the time and energy investment, I swear.
Good luck to you at this difficult time.
