I have recently broke up with my fiancé. And my life has turned into a chaos. It's been over 6 months ago. I was feeling fine just last week. And now I cry constantly and I just don't want to live. I have insomnia. I wake up and I feel like I have no reason to live. I go to school full time. I work full time. I try to Occupy myself. But this roller coaster never seems to end. I feel fine for a little bit and then I hit the rock bottom. I wonde what is wrong with me. I lost my appetite. Once again I was feeling just fine. And no. I'm not pmsing

What a time you've had!! I think you are entitled to feel low.
You sound worn out and exhausted.
It's no wonder that after six months of, I guessing, putting on a brave face, you have burned out.
We have all been there through something or other - I can totally relate to you. ( when the same thing happened to me - dumped by fiancé on Christmas Eve - the night we were telling both our families but he told me about his 8 month affair instead - I fine the brave face for. 6 months, broke down and decided stiff him and booked myself a cruise!! )
If this continues why not speak to a pharmacist and see if they can recommend a herbal pick me up - Ginseng is wonderful for helping you through these tough times.
If it does go on however, a chat with your doctor might be a good idea.
Good luck xx

I been suffering bad moods for the past 6 months. After me and my fiancé broke up. And I user to walk tall and pretend that I don't care. And was strong in front of my friends. But it seems that past few weeks I just broke down. I can't smile anymore. I am suffering from insomnia. I wake up with the burden on my chest and feel like there is no purpose for me to live. That nobody needs me or loves me. I have great friends and family. But as much as I'm hesitating to say this... I've grown to hate them. Hate my friends, family. Anybody who is nice to me I want to punch. I isolated myself from everybody. When I see other happy I just want to cry because I don't See why can't I be happy. I'm not being selfish. I always used to put others before me. I just don't know what to do with myself. I go to school full time and work full time. I occupy myself. I try to grow as a person. But I seem to be afraid to look down deep inside my soul. I tend to blame myself for everything. Could this be a depression?

Oh wow. I've been shopping a lot. It kind of helps me a bit. But still. It lasts only for few hours. I turned into some sort of shopaholic

Time to seek out some therapy... and see a doctor... this can be treated and dealt with. No shame in asking for and getting help. It happens to many people.

Lol. Hope you've treated yourself to something nice.
It is worth speaking to someone though... It a horrible situation you are in but life goes on and now you need a coping mechanism ( and whilst fun - shopping may not be the answer! )
Good luck.
