I know it's hard and painful but consider that this hyper-emotional response doesn't actually help anything past a certain point. Some researchers a few years back did report that they had found the crying does relieve stress, typicall 40-60% for most people. There is nothing wrong with having a good cry or two but then you have to start trying to move on. Exersize can really help you relieve your distress, work up a good sweat. Get out with some friends, go places, do things, try to help someone else - that can really help pull you out of yourself. It will take time but you can't just dwell in it. Do you know how many millions of women there are in the world? Billions actually, it may not feel like it right now but there are whole bunch of them you could be very happy with and who would be delighted to have your caring and love.

This is very true! When my husband passed away my sex drive was out of control and still is! It's crazy! It has been almost 3 years since he has been gone. I have moved on and I am very happy. It is part of life's learning experiences. Be glad because it happened and you know what your capable of. Look at it as an eye opening, life learning, experience! It won't be the last time either. You will become smarter and wiser for it! What if it never happened? It would be a valuable loss.

Absolutely, stress causes most people to masturbate more frequently - the endorphin thing helps for a while.

Its getting to like 4-6 a day..

It just helps so much, it feels so good, you just got to think and she is there doing everything for you.

This kind of masturbation is known in England, well, in not very well known slang "Cranking"
