Hey. I was in your situation and it was hell. I understand. If u need any support with this pop me a comment on one of my posts whenever I post and Iāll do all I can to help. If it was recent hereās what I recommend: ā¢let yourself feel. Donāt numb any feelings. Let it all out ā¢ Order yourself your favourite food. And try and enjoy it ā¢surround yourself with family and friends as much as you can. And although it may not seem it right now. It. Will. Get. Better. I promise. š¤

I was devastated after my first relationship. I didnāt believe it at the time, but I had a dear friend who constantly encouraged me that things were already slowly getting better ā eventually I leaned into the idea that even when it feels like hell, every MINUTE, every day, you are a bit closer to healing and not feeling this way. And it was true. I just kept saying ātomorrow will be betterā and eventually it became ātoday is okay, tooā

Maybe make a list of your values and the things you haven't done due to ruminating about the ex? That may inspire less fixation on her.

OCD played a massive role in me feeling fixated on a situation that I technically had no emotional attachment to anymore. Itās important to recognize what aspects of it are OCD related, and use your ERP tools to overcome compulsions. If you do feel youāre experiencing regular grief over your relationship, it can also be helpful to consult a mental health counselor to address those issues separately. Take so much care <3

My boyfriend of almost two years just broke up with me. Iām hurting a lot and the ocd has skyrocketed because of it, especially since I havenāt been feeling the best already. I also always have a physical reaction to stress, and have been dealing with feeling sick all night. Does anyone have any tips or advice for how to deal with this?

does anyone else get obsessive thoughts about their ex while theyāre with their current partner? i was in an emotionally abusive relationship for almost 4 years (also my first relationship EVER) and i definitely have PTSD from a lot of it. he broke up with me and iām so glad that he did, because i donāt know how much longer i would have continued to be in that relationship. the thing is, even though heās done a lot of fucked up things to me, i donāt have hate for him in my heart. i have these thoughts like āoh if you donāt hate him you must still be in love with himā and they make me panic. iāve been dating my current boyfriend for almost 2 years. i love him so much, heās so supportive of me and great. i get these awful thoughts that my ex was āthe oneā for me, i will never feel the way i did about my ex with my current boyfriend, constantly comparing them, etc. iāve been to therapy for years now, and have come to the realization that i am self-sabotaging. iām lost, depressed, and scared. any advice would be appreciated ā¤ļø

Itās been a month since the breakup, and all I can think about still is my ex. While I walk, eat, sleep. It feels like itās interrupting my life. The breakup triggered my depression to come back after a few months. Iām not on any medication but I feel like I need it now. Any go through the same thing?
