Default Going through some hard times

Sup Guys. Need your guys help. Going through a seperation of my girl of 3 years. She moved out a week ago and there is no signs of us getting back and it is killing me. My whole life was mostly about her. Then being tha Holidays makes it harder. I dont want to sound desperate but I need some friends to help pick me up through this hard time. I really need some things to keep my mind off her. I know you guys can help.

Thanks
Spanky

Sorry to hear the news Spanky. I think we have all been there before though, and it really does suck during the Holidays. Just do your best to pull yourself out of the house and go do some things you enjoy, and maybe visit friends and family that you haven't seen much of lately.

Sitting around the house is a BIG mistake in situations like this. It gets depressing. Go out and interact with some people, and it will help pass the time. Take the T-tops off of that WS6 and go for a long drive with the radio cranked. Time heals all wounds, but it is up to you on how you choose to spend that time.

I know how you feel. I recently lost my pride and joy my mother. Eventhough it was not a girlfriend it hurt like hell especially when she got murdered. I was depressed for over 2 months and even to this day I still cry sometimes when I go to sleep. Time does not heal everything, but will ease the pain. The only way I make it threw is to keep myself busy and hanging out with friends. Sorry if I was not much help. Just move on and enjoy life.

Yo Spanky,
I am sorry to hear about that but you will make it through it. Just keep your head up and keep on going every day. I beleive the Hooters meet is tonight and I will not be able to make it to hooters but maybe later on in the night to sonic. So if you need to get out and do something I'd go for that if you can make it.
Just remember every thing will turn out okay so don't stop smiling!



Ps: If you need me shoot me a PM.
~Matt

Damn man, I know how you feel. When I broke up with one of my previous girlfriends of a serious relationship, I was a depressed, pathetic mess. Gotta move on and get your mind off of her. As soon as she hears you're out and having fun and w/ other ladies, the tables may turn. Keep your head up and the gas pedal down, and life will be good.

Hey I agree with Nine Ball. We have all been there. When it hapened to me and my Son`s mother I thought I would be depressed for ever. Don`t stay at home and dwel on it man but most of all don`t do anything stupid while your out either. And when these guys say they know just how you feel...... don`t think they are just talking ****. I know it sucks, but man it takes a while. Somtimes a long while. Go out and have some fun, and do stuff that you didn`t usually do befor because you were with her. Just don`t and go do things because you know she will get pissed if she saw you doing stuff. Just ''TRY'' to go out without her on your minde. By the way I learned all this $hit from Dr. Phill.LOL not really

Yeah, I'm in the same boat man... Only we broke up about 8 months ago, and she is now my "best friend". We're always together, and I'm still pathetic. Any ideas on this doozy?

Go out & have fun, enjoy life. Every day you waste in/on the past is just another one in the past. It's not easy, I've been there 3 times myself, just keep your head up & get involved with your friends & family and maybe dive into work & work more hours or get a second job to use up idle time. The work thing really worked for me, I started doing crazy over time & it paid off well because I didn't think about her as much & I got mad mod money as well. Keep your chin up bro, it will get better sooner or later...just get out & meet some new people as well.

Been there, done that. Hang in there, time will heal all. Remember all of the good fortune you do have. Look at all of the people that "really" have it tough and you'll feel better.
