I know you don't like the idea of counseling, but it's very very important for you to get under a therapy program. You've said that you're depressed, I hope you're taking medication for it, and I know that therapy combined with medication is the best way to get out of depression. It may take 6 months, but it is vital that you get someone that can help you with this sort of thinking. It may very well be that you need an additional anti-anxiety drug that will stop the "rushing thoughts" that you are experiencing.

You can augment this therapy by reading self-help books that will help you over the hill. But you can't do it alone quick enough to save this relationship. So you have a choice in front of you. Do you want your girlfriend back? Or do you want to lose her and eventually (we hope) get out of this depression?


I wish you luck.
