dating a guy on anti-depressants

I was dating this guy who took zoloft for his anxiety, and once he increased his dose started acting like a completely different person, which made my feelings change a bit too. He even said, I feel like you don't like me anymore. Anyways he was in a two and a half year relationship before me and just broke up with me saying that he doesn't see us long term. I know that he has still been in touch with his ex while we were dating and she said that her crying to him made him realize how much he cares about her and should be with her. This situation is so unfair to me though and I am not heartbroken and don't know what to do with myself. We spent almost every night together and now I can't even sleep because I hate sleeping alone. I don't want to eat either because I just feel so sick. How do I get over this!? I really was falling for him and now he's gone. Please help!:'(

Re: dating a guy on anti-depressants

Hi there, I\'m really sorry to hear that he left you like that. You\'re right, it completely isn\'t fair and he shouldn\'t have gotten into a relationship if he wasn\'t ready.
If you haven\'t already, it would be best to cut off contact with him, this will help you to move on. Distractions are also a great way to keep yourself busy. Partake in activities that make you happy to help keep your mood up. This can include sports, playing an instrument, spending time with friends or family, or any other hobbies you have.
You should also read This Article on breaking up, it has lots of helpful advice.
Lastly, remember that its going to take time. Right now is the worst that you are going to feel in all of this, so just keep your chin up and know that it will get easier. And on the bright side, the relationships over so now you can find a guy who will want to be with you and will treat you right. :)
