Looking for answers

Hey, well it all started a couple of months ago when i broke up from my 3 year girlfriend.
Without trying to sounds soppy, we were made for each other. We was both each others first loves, loved the same things and we're told by everyone that we was amazing together.
Since May (when we broke up) I've just been incredibly depressed which i assume is only natural, but at the start i felt suicidal and totally worthless. At times i still feel the latter. The only time being happy is with my pals down at rugby.
Other things i had felt were mood swings, lack of sleep, lack of self worth, fatigue and other symptoms.

That is until recently when through a friend, I've met another girl. Although from friends, they claim that from a brief time iv spent with her iv seemed a lot better, I feel lonelier than ever. Almost as if, if i don't talk to her at least once a day, that shes completely gone. I obviously really like this girl but i don't know what is happening and would much appreciate advice if possible

Thanks

Hi jgeorgelee,

It can take a while to recover from the break-up of any relationship, so give yourself plenty of time to heal.

Why do you think you are feeling lonelier than ever? Do you think it's because you are comparing this girl to your last girlfriend? Maybe you are focussing on what you've lost or that your relationship with this new girl is not as close or deep as it was with your long-term girlfriend?

Or could you be worried about going through a break-up all over again with this new girl?

Maybe something is holding you back from feeling happy?
