Depressing suggestions...please help me!

I'm going through a tough time right now, and I wanted to listen to some just really depressing, self-deprecating, romantic breakup-type stuff. Anyone have any suggestions? Preferably something that isn't necessarily the same old recycled mainstream pop and/or rock, since I probably have most of it already

. It doesn't matter if you do list it, it may remind me of a good one, but try to get some ones you don't think I've heard of.

If anyone suggests "Cry Me A River" I'm going to shoot them. ;P

Well, if you can locate it... David Sylvian & Robert Fripp's 'Damage' has a number of wonderful songs of the sort, with Sylvian's intellegent lyrics and vocals...

Very calm, sad and texturistic ones

-Damage
-Every Color You Are
-The First Day

Less breakup-related, but still close enough:
Somewhat desperate/odd one

-Brightness Falls

Generally depressed one

-Firepower

God, anything by Agalloch. Especially "A Desolation Song" and My Dying Bride's "My Hope The Destroyer" A lot of the stuff by Nightwish is lyrically depressing too.

Linkin Park - In the End

It'll appeal to your angsty side, perhaps.

Also, Savatage's This Isn't What We Meant is slightly depressing too.

This is exactly the type of thing I mentioned in the first post. I've had the CD for almost three years now, and I didn't even think about that song when I got in this funk. Of course, just like I said, I just remembered now that My December is one of my favorite songs, and fits this perfectly. Thanks.

and yes, My December makes me cry.

If its Depression you want, then I hightly recommend listening to EVERGREY. Their whole style is dark, heavy, depressing, self-destructive, tormentiously brooding. Not your typical metal either.

Can't recommend a particular song, cause I don't know what will work for you (plus I've never been able to get into them - to depressing for me).

But check out their music videos and sound clips. Might give you some inspiration.
