I think I have found myself in a sort of melancholic depression. I go through a few days where I just sleep and sleep and sleep some more, and others that I can barely close my eyes, let alone fall asleep at night. I have definitely lost quite a bit of weight, and am probably around 150 pounds, if not lighter than that. Most of the time, my mornings are the most difficult. I just don't want to get up and go to my class, and have to talk to myself out loud, and talk to her, in order to get up and out of the house. I find myself talking to her as I walk through the town, and can only imagine what others think of me. Wandering around after class through town, talking to her out loud. When I think of something to tell her in my head, the response that she gives me is almost automatic. Even too quick for me to formulate one. Maybe I just don't give my mind, and imagination, enough credit, but when I think of her response, I believe it is actually what she would say if she were here. But she's not. All I have now is a memory of her. I think only someone who has experienced this type of loss can understand the depth of this torment. I don't actively choose to write these things, and don't want to be miserable. When I first met her, she was all I could think about. I was absolutely captivated, and I think the level of my love for her is only equaled in intensity by the depth of my pain. It is a cruel dichotomy to have to deal with everyday.

I stumbled upon your blog by accident and was blown away by your story. I wanted you to know that it will get easier. It will never get better, it will never feel right, but it will get easier.
9 years ago I lost the love of my life while I was in college and it devestated me. In some ways, I am still devestated. I drank a lot, tried to kill myself a couple times, and ran away from most of the people who knew me. Your blog brought those feelings flooding back so fast I lost my breath.
But I also want you to know this about me: I am now married. Not one day goes by when I don't think about the love I lost, and feel guilty for the life I have and the life he does not have. But somewhere along the way I learned how to cope and opened myself up again.
I don't have any advice for you. You have a long road of recovery ahead of you. I just want to give you some hope that eventually it will be okay. Eventually the pain dulls to just an ache, and when it stops hurting so badly, it doesn't mean you love her less.
Take care of yourself. I wish you peace.
