Not sure if you’ve already done this but I’d recommend not following on social media. It’s good to have space where your ex is not always popping up when you’re trying to move on.

Agree with this. Going no contact is paramount to recovering from a broken heart. In the “old days” when a relationship changed you never had to see or hear about that person again if you didn’t want to. I think that was much healthier. Create that kind of environment for yourself now

Hey friend, I’m sorry you’re going through that. Heartbreak feels very overwhelming in the moment. It’s like your pain is so acute and all encompassing that you don’t think you can bear it. During this time, rely on your friends and loved ones. Take up or maintain your hobbies. Give yourself space to mourn a bit. After all, you lost an important person in your life and that involves some measure of grief. Time will make it better. A couple years ago my marriage ended after ten years together. I didn’t think I could endure it, but now I’m on a better path than ever before!

I am sorry :( this is the worst time but I swear with the time you will feel better, just take care of yourself right now, like CSqared says with your family and friends ! people use to say that breaks up are like a reborn. You can discover an all new part of yourself If you want to talk I am here anytime I hope you will feel better don’t hesitate to talk with someone When my ex and I broke up I watched friends entirely and that was a great way to think about something else

My psychologist tells me because my thoughts are based off of facts/ broken boundaries which is why I am having thoughts of am i in love , am I settling , and feeling guilty I should let him go to find someone who wouldn’t doubt him that I do not have rocd. She states rocd is intrusive , irrational thoughts not based off of real facts and I may have ptsd not ocd. He kissed someone else before we were official and he finds a certain type of female attractive that I find disgusting . So I spin about these issues all day long to the point I’m so unhappy with him and had to break up . It’s been over a month now but I’m still severely anxious and depressed The thing is I can’t stop thinking about this 24/7 with severe anxiety and depression and nothing is helping me . Can someone please tell me their thoughts

I’ll preface by saying he’s a brutally honest guy who doesn’t feel like there’s anything wrong with being honest. But um… yeah. He says I concentrate on the bad too much instead of all the good. I said I feel the bad is still there lingering during the good. He doesn’t compliment me like my previous boyfriends have unless I’m absolutely dressed to the nines, and even then, I can barely get it out of him. I’m a few years older than him. The other day, I asked him if he is sacrificing being with his type to be with me, and without missing a beat, he said “yes.” Basically, his type would be skinnier, younger, hotter than me (shocker, I know). I showed him a photo of myself that I liked, and he said “meh.” I tried to be confident and said, “well, I know it’s good, and that’s all that matters.” He asked what I liked about it, and I said my cheekbones looked good. He said he “only saw cheeks.” I said, “yeah… kinda hard to see cheekbones without seeing the cheeks…” He then proceeded to poke at my face/double chin, and when I asked what he’s doing, he said, “Trying to find the bones.” In the same convo, he said he hasn’t wanted to sleep with me because of my weight. Said he wishes he could see my waist more. I’m 10 pounds heavier than I was when we met, and that’s nothing. He’s gained way more in this relationship, but I don’t give him shit about it. He says “well maybe you should.” But I’m not gonna go insulting him just because he insults me. When I tell him it makes me feel bad, he says, “well I wasn’t trying to make you feel bad, so…” Anyway, I know it’s not just ROCD. I deserve better than this. But ROCD still makes me question myself. Mad af at him ngl
