I went through this at the same time as experiencing a major business failure. It sucked, and honestly 14 months later it still sucks but it does get better with time. Very very slowly, but it does. Be careful about creating a chemical dependency, it was weed for me, as that actually prolongs the recovery. I think these things help us in the early days, but eventually they block you from processing the feelings you have to process. Stay in there, it will get better.
