Melancholy and The Infinite Sadness

I thought I could handle this. I've failed myself.
Oh God . this is killing me.
The Unbearable Helplessness. It feels  like I'm sitting on my knees with eyes closed and  a gun to my head which is outside my control.

Tennov (1979) has suggested that the only cure for being in love is to get indisputable evidence that the target of one's love is not interested'. He is wrong.Totally off the mark.

Ovid in his Remedia Amoris 'provides advice on how to overcome inappropriate or unrequited love. The solutions offered include travel, teetotalism, bucolic pursuits, and (ironically) avoidance of love poets'.


Travel.
