Going through the similar phases right now but not with tears, just an internal void and thoughts to haunt me, always like this. If the things that bring you comfort no longer work, it wouldn't be a bad idea to seek other solutions outside what you are used to because that comfort may also be holding you back from the long term solutions.
The limitations to the solutions you can come up with are dictated with how much creativity you can extract within and around you. As complicated as it sounds, broaden your perspective, touch grass, harness that inner problem solving genius latent within and kick it to high gear. And perhaps, you might find a way to free yourself from the cage of melancholy built.
I’m trying to keep myself open, really. But right now, the need to ensure I can get myself back is very strong.
