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

Canāt sleep
Iām just full of emotions right now. I feel like I just want to explode. I broke up with my ex a week ago he keeps texting me saying I love you I donāt respond because I donāt pay no mind. Whatās bothering me is why did I let this dude use me and I trusted him. He manipulated and used me and I have serious trust issues I never tell anyone what I go through because itās not safe at all. I feel like I donāt want to trust a guy ever again yes Iām 19 and Iām still young and should date but I donāt have the energy anymore. I attract terrible men that use me and I cave in to easy because Iām lonely and my life is miserable and even doing the things I used to like feel like a chore. I told my sister this today and she said I should be patient that the right man will come to me. But I feel like even if he did I would reject him because Iām an easy person to take advantage of.

My bf and I just broke up and I havenāt felt this sort of heartbreak in a very long time. Iām crying all the time and can barely get out of bed. Idek what to do with myself and Iām terrified Iām going to relapse because of all the added stress. I think us breaking up was the right decision but it hurts so fucking bad idek what i should do anymore. Iām not normally the emotional type when it comes to situations like this either. Any advice?
