Breakup

I been recently diagnosed with ocd but in the same time I was dealing with a breakup. It’s been 5 months already but we officially separated from each other 3 months ago. I prolonged the process of the break up and I’m finally dealing with it on my own. But recently I been struggling being there for myself because he used to be my best friend and I don’t really talk to a lot of people other than my sisters. I know it takes time to heal, but sometimes I feel pathetic because I still feel like I need him when I know I don’t. Recently he hasn’t been consistent with texting because he’s going through something but I keep overthinking it and believing maybe we won’t have a stable friendship. I been told it better to let go of the friendship, and I still there going back in forth if I should. I could tell I feel insecure being alone and I know one day I will feel comfortable with it, but it’s hard being positive. I have trouble regulating my emotions and sometimes I feel alone going through this.

I know it’s not the best thing to hear. Give yourself time to heal tho. Don’t pressure yourself or rush yourself into getting back to where you were before. This is a traumatic experience. Be kind to yourself and allow yourself to be sad!

It’s just been a really tough time for me, I was codependent on him and it feels like it’s the first time I’m doing things on my own.

Dealing with breakup pls help

Hi - I’ve made a series of posts about my situation over the past few weeks. My bf asked to take a break from our relationship through text the first week of April. We haven’t spoken since. There’s a lot of outward details to this but I’ll try to keep it as simple as possible. My ocd is telling me the worst of the worst. He left me with full uncertainty because he didn’t give me a reason, and his decision felt like it happened overnight and I’m still so confused. He’s never been in a relationship as serious as this before. I’m incredibly hurt and angry, and my emotions get worse on Saturday and Friday nights because that’s when his frat parties happen. I do ERP phrases but my stomach hurts and it’s churning so bad. I deactivated/deleted social media apps for now because it’s too much. I just wish this physical feeling would stop. Does anyone have tips?

OCD around my breakup

My partner broke up with my about 10 months ago. It came out of nowhere, and I got no explanation before they ghosted me and blocked me on all forms of contact. I have been horribly struggling since then with this obsessive need for closure. For a while I continued to try to reach out to them, on my own accord or through other people, but it just kept ending with more blocking. For months, I was going through the relationship and the breakup in my head over and over, picking it apart to try and figure out what went wrong, but without a conversation with my ex, I couldn't get anywhere. I am definitely doing much better now. the compulsions to reach out to her and the spiral obsession with figuring out what went wrong have both lessened. but they are still present, especially when I sleep. I really just want to be rid of the whole situation, but i want to do it in a healthy way without locking up my feelings. i really am at such a loss though. i still want answers and i still miss my ex in a lot of ways, but at the same time, the though of running into them scares the shit out of me. ive heard some horrible things about them since then, and how they have been spreading rumors about me behind my back. the situation cant seem to get any worse and it just keep happening. and it makes my ocd triggers so much worse too. idk, i will take literally any responses and any helpful advice.
