JIM Carrey is struggling to come to terms with the fact his ex-girlfriend Jenny McCarthy has a new man in her life.

The eccentric actor — who announced his split from the sexy actress earlier this year — is devastated his former flame has found love again and pals fear Jim’s downward spiral may prompt a return of the condition that once forced him into treatment for mental health problems.

“Jim isn’t himself these days – and he hasn’t been ever since he and Jenny split,” a source told American tabloid the National Enquirer.

“But finding out she has already moved in with a guy has just sent him reeling.”

Jim, 48, and Jenny, 37, broke up in April after nearly five years together. McCarthy recently revealed she’s fallen for 35-year-old Las Vegas hunk Jason Toohey.

Previous reports have claimed Jim and Jenny split because of the actor’s ongoing battle with depression.

“While they always seemed so happy in public, behind the scenes was a different story,” a source said.

“They were always busting up and getting back together.

“Jim’s problems with depression were a major issue for Jenny and apparently that proved to be the final straw.

“Jenny was constantly on an emotional roller-coaster.

“At the worst times, Jim would simply vanish off the radar, not picking up her phone calls — even hiding out in hotels or one of his homes.

“Jenny is a gorgeous and talented actress and very much wants to move on with her life.

“She knows there’s someone out there who can make her happy — and without all the drama she had with Jim.”
