Hello all, joined 7cups about 2 weeks ago and loving this app. Have 5 twins, been in the forums, learning on the self help guids, updated my profile with helpful resources for everyone to use and working on badges and helping those in the que that are asking questions or needing help.

Hello My name is Ashley and I suffering from depression from a big loss in my life
ashley1377 again....Not sure how all this works so please excuse any mistakes.
Yes I am very depressed most days. I fight against it but it is a struggle. Last year I lost everything I loved.
I had a relationship for 30 years and it ended. Not my choice. We owned a beautiful home that was a hideous 70s ranch transformed into a beautiful Arts and Crafts Cottage in Sag Harbor, NY......one of the most beautiful places in the US. I designed most of the chnages and worked with a contractor to create this warm and loving home for my partner and I. I thought we were soulmates for life. But things started changing about 5 years ago. My partner was diagnosed as bi polar by 4 psycharists but refused to take any treatment for it. We moved to Florida because of her mother and the promise of a new start for us, all a lie. The mental and verball abuse so wore me down, I felt like a cigarette butt yet I would have done anything to save our relationship. Nothing worked. My partner left our house in the hands of a friend who is crazy and said he knew what to do to winterize a house. He did not. He wrecked the house. Burst pipes, warped floors, a 22 foot in the house;s foundation. I went back for two months to put the house back together; it took 7 months. So I was alone in our home without even one of our cats, it was horrible, so gut wrenching. Meanwhile, my partner stayed in Florida and created a whole new life for herself with new friends. Anyway my beloved house was sold and then everything was really over. So here I am, at 63 years old, in a small one bedroom apt I bought in Florida. I gave my entire life to that relationship, 30 years is a big chunk of your life. For many, many years, our relationship was good. I have friends here but some never married or had a relationship of any duration so they think I should be over it by now. How do you get over someone you loved for 30 years, spoke to every day for 30 years? I am a "me" not a "we" anymore. Its very hard.
