Rys I had a nervous breakdown after my H left. It was about 75% the situation and around 25% that I stopped taking care of myself (wasn't sleeping much, didn't eat right, lost 45 lbs. in just couple months, was constantly sick with one thing and another-- the physical/mental stuff kept snowballing until I was barely functioning) and started forgetting to take my ADs. When I got stabilized on meds again things got much better. They don't take away the pain and sadness, but they definitely take edge off.
