    Hi all. Just want to run my situation by you all and see what you think. I had been going out with a girl that I really loved for about 2 years. Eventually she wanted more and more from me and I was kind of scared of settling down, having kids etc. so I tried to avoid talking about it, and ended up avoiding her as much as I could really. She got really down over this and after many break ups she cut all ties with me and transferred with her job to mainland Europe, where she is originally from. So the day after she left (I hadn't seen her for about a month before she left) I left for the far side of the world. Anyway, I'm down here now, working, living in a nice house, should be happy... But all I'm doing now is asking myself why the hell I was so afraid of settling down with her. She was more keen too because she was 7 years older than me, I'm 26. I'm finding it really hard to meet people here, the people I work with are all much older or married with kids etc. so there's no craic there at all... I haven't met any people from Ireland here either... And my life is just so boring and dull now. I don't want to go home because I was just killing myself with booze and drugs for months before I came here, it was getting too much, since I came here I have barely been drinking at all, so that's a good thing at least. I have no address or phone number or email for the girl. She had asked me to move with her to Europe but I said I wasn't ready, this is a big regret for me now. It's like she's dead now or something, that's how it feels, I have no contact, I will never see her again, I doubt she ever wants to see me again. I don't even know what I'm asking here really, I just want to know how I can stop feeling so low all the time. I feel good for a couple of hours while jogging and afterwards every day, but that's just natural endorphins or something, apart from that it's so depressing. Sorry for boring you all with my nonsense, but I have no one to talk to here, not a soul. Thanks for your time.

    I think you should do something different. Maybe see a psychologist/counsellor, get some kind of help anyway. You might be able to get in touch with your girl through her friends if you still have their numbers. Its understandable your feeling depressed living on the other side of the world just after a breakup. Maybe consider coming home if you have friends/family here.
