Hi. I'm not sure how to start so I'm just going to go for it. I'm gay and came out two and s half years ago. Always known, it just took me 40 years and a marriage to a woman to realise! I started a new job and met a guy and fell for him, instantly. I left my wife, divorced and asked the guy to move in. All went swimmingly and we were engaged after 15 months of living together. Things hit a bumpy time, as I'm sure all relationships do. Eventually, just before Valentine's Day this year, he decided we needed space and left. Within two weeks of leaving he was in a new relationship with a friend of ours. I work with my now ex fiancé, I couldn't cope and eventually the doc signed me off with anxiety. I tried several attempts to go back but I got lower and more anxious and eventually two weeks ago, doc finally diagnosed anxiety and depression and signed me off for a month. I've had some very dark days and the last few have been better. I can feel myself going down again. I'm sad, lonely, still heart broken, lost and on my own - with my two cats!! I am seeing a therapist and taking meds, I'm just so fed up and can't think straight. Some days I'm fine and active, others I sit for hours doing nothing or crying or hating everyone and everything. I've got no single friends straight or gay and I just sit here going crazy. Am I going to end up being the sad lonely man with two cats? Just be good to 'talk' to others. Stephen ?

Hi Stephen, I know exactly how you feel, and there will be good days aswell as bad. It's good that you're seeing a therapist, and although your friends aren't single, they're still your friends. Reach out to them, talk to them. Isolation makes depression worse, I speak from experience. Best advice I can give sounds like a cliché, but enjoy the good days, and when you get a bad day, take it an hour at a time, and don't spend too much time on your own. Take care. Jen
