Break ups suck. There’s no other way around it. It doesn’t matter if you’re the dumper or the dumpee, there’s absolutely nothing pleasant about going through a break up. There are tears shed over losing an important relationship, the crappy things you said to each other and, probably the worst reason of all, the dread of having to start the process all over again with someone new.

When I first read about Robin William’s suicide, I immediately thought of the suicides in my family… not even a year has passed since the most recent one. Depression can take even the best of us down. It is not to be taken lightly. It is a monster, a big, powerful, unrelenting monster. Depression will come and go. It is rarely a constant in the life of one who suffers from it so it is important to manage it as best you can, stay one step ahead of it if possible.
You finally met someone. You’ve had several email and text exchanges, and maybe you’ve even talked on the phone or had a date or two. You think this person is great, and you wonder if he could be “The One”?
The only problem is, you barely even know the guy.
