PUBLIC APOLOGY FOR RECENT BEHAVIOR
I want to take this time to apologize for my recent cocky a-hole attititude on this forum over the past few days.
I have an excuse, though some may feel it does not warrant my behavior; I split up with my g/f of 4 years last Fall. We work at the same company, though not the swame plant (thank God). 5 months after our split, she called to inform me that she had gotten engaged (on V-day) - not to rub it in, but so that I heard it from her, and not through the rumor mills which run rampant throughout our company (W.L. Gore, manufacturer's of Gore-Tex, an additional to quite a diversivty of other products).
It took a few weeks to settle in, but recently it did. For reasons unfamiliar to me, I have become short fused with some of my co-workers and my immediate family; you all on the Forum have not been my sole punching bag. I learned/realized this after several uncharacteristic outburts towards members of my family were quite uncharacteristically inapproriate. Because of this, I have decided to endergo some sessions of psychotherapy; this is obviously more than I can handle on my own, for the time being, and I am in no way ashamed to admit I need the intervention of a specialist.
To those I offended in the plast week, I ask that you please take this into consideration; I have neve before been in such a circumstance, and I have pissed off many friends and family with my reactive behavior.
If you have gone through anything such as this yourself, drop me an e-mail with any first-hand advice which has benefitted you during times such as these. In addition, if I had really offended you, please drop me a note so that I can converse with you.
My apologize again; I can be a hot head, but typically only to those who have seriously mistreated me, which none of you had, as I recall.
Regards,
Mark

To get a lil personal for a moment. I lost my girl--my ex--whatever you want to call it, and it shredded me to pieces...and I'm the one who broke it off! (for many lil reasons that just built up over time) I made the choice, now I have to live with that choice. I'm ok with that, for the most part.
I've had only a couple true loves in my life (not counting hookin up or one-night-stands or short lil flings) and they are still very dear to me. Each one carrying something very special about the person they are.
No one night stand (though it wouldn't hurt...perhaps a few actually) isn't gonna be anything but a lil patch on an open wound, but it's still a good idea in most cases.
I don't think I've ever been an a**hole to people (friends etc...whatever) after a major break up, but hey, everyone has their own way with dealing with these types of situations.
maybe a lil
and some 
will help you out in the short term. Actually,temporarily, the scotch made me forget about it (mostly) and the herb made me hyper-focus, but then forget what I was thinking about...LOLUp to you to pick your poison. I've been seein psycologists, psyciatrists social workers etc...since I was 13 (yes, I was one of those problem childs) . I'm 31 now! I only recently stopped treatment because in this moment, for me, no progress is going to be made with or with out help.
Good luck to you...remember "it never lasts" no mater what it iz. That includes happiness and depression...along with any other state of mind.
