Hello Matchy,
From reading through your thread from the start, I see you invested a lot emotionally into this girl, and that this is your first time falling in love since your divorce. You didn't imagine ever falling in love again, and to have that opportunity dissolve must bring back a lot of painful memories for you. I see how desperately you wanted to make this work, even in spite of her being married to someone else and not able to make a firm commitment to you.
I really feel how you're blaming yourself for how things have turned out. I hope you can see the difference between who you are as a person (a good person) and any actions that you might now regret. There's always something to be learned when things don't go the way we would have liked, as much as they hurt like hell. What do you think you've learned from this experience?

Sleeping only three hours a night must be very difficult too, I know if I don't get my full night's sleep I find it very hard to think clearly, and that's without the added stresses you've been having. What other things do you do to take care of yourself?

That doesn't sound too good at all. The lack of food and sleep will be making it very hard to cope with everything that's going on. When was the last time you went to the doctors?

It is tough when doctors move on and you've built up that trust, isn't it? It's good that you're already thinking ahead to finding a new doctor.

As a new day begins it still not getting any easier as i still cant stop thinking about this person and keep crying.I tried to take my mine off her doing things like gardening but i just keep breaking down and crying and crawling back in bed.
