So low

I have felt so depressed and suicidal over the past 2 weeks.  My marriage broke up this year, and we are getting down to the finer details of financial settlement now.  We have an Autistic child.  I have no family support.  My ex supports all he can but we can hardly talk because he wants to get back together and I don't.  I have been foolishly dating a man who has never been married, never had a child. He is 48  years old and he acts like my life should revolve totally around him. I keep breaking it off with him only to restart the relationship again.  I was involved with this man when I was 21 and he was 33.  He came back in to my life unexpectedly and we tried to regain what we once had.  Anyway I broke it off with him on Thursday night because I told him that I feel like jumping off a cliff. Because I had had a really, really bad day with verbal and physical abuse from my ex.  I was feeling drained.  My child with Autism had caught up on the emotions and was crying too.   Well, he was out of my house so quickly after I told him that I felt like killing myself. I then phoned him to tell him we were finished. Because he did not support me. He then said that he did.  He felt I did not communicate my needs to him.  

I have not eaten properly for two days, and I can't sleep.  I was once up last night and the night before, about 20 times. I have lost weight over the past 2 weeks.  I have cut him off and I want to stay out of his life this time.  Please help me because I need to move on this time.  

Regards, Mandy

HI MANY I KNOW YOU DONT KNOW ME BUT, I SUFFERED FROM THE EXACT SAME STUFF YOU ARE GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW.  THE FIRST THING YOU NEED TO DO IS (PLEASE TRUST ME);
1.  GET ON EFFEXOR XR START 75 MG MOVE TO 150 IN 1 WEEK THE 225 A WEEK LATER, YOU MAY NEED EVEN 300MG.  ITS OK CAUSE MANY PEOPLE ARE ON AS MUCH AS 450.  I DID 300MG FOR 6 YEARS SAVED MY LIFE.

2. GO TO A CLINIC THAT OFFERS *GROUP* THERAPY.  THE BEST PART TO RECOVERY. BECAUSE THEY ALL OFFER IDEAS THAT YOU NEVER THOUGHT OF, YOU MAKE GREAT FRIENDS WHO HELP YOU, AND YOU NEVER FEEL ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE!   I BEG YOU, TRUST ME.

I meant to add that I have suffered depression all my life but during the past 2 weeks, it is worse then ever. I sometimes cannot face the day. I am filled with doom and gloom.  Can somebody please offer me some advice?  I would be most appreciative.
