hi, nothing wrong with you going in there and stating the facts, how you feel, ask him/her - what do you think about antidepressants? in the meantime look them up in the glossary on this site or do some research - crazymeds, for one. i understand what you mean about the endless rows and soul sucking work, you'll start to feel better with the meds and the selfawareness. you're hardly a junkie, or anything like that. this really is an illness. it gets progressively worse unless you yourself intervene! does this run in your family? have you always felt this way? or just since the breakup?
