Hey I went through a really bad breakup this year . It came to my surprise, and naturally with my repetitive thoughts I focused on the same events over and over again and it honestly just takes time. Before starting medication, seriously just take time to think and process, journal, do activities you think you’d enjoy . it may take months or even a year to get better but just know you aren’t alone and these things often bring the worst in us but u will get so much better with coping with all hardships in the end. Stay strong!!

I was in the same situation two years ago, my depression was so bad that I stopped eating and refused to go out, basically I was living in my room... when I had to go to work it was pure suffer because I felt like I could barely walk and stay awake, I even fainted because the stress... so that was when I decided to start medication, not gonna lie, it takes a little to work (for me it took me like 4 months to start to see the results clearly) but at the end it was what I needed, my dr continued with therapy and now I feel really good ? maybe it may sound cheese but you can go through this, even if you don’t feel like there is an exit, it is ❤️

But really had to force me to do all those things because I was just obsessed with him, most of all because he started dating with the girl he said was just a friend of him ? a girl I met many years before him ? so I guess you can tell how depressed I was and the urge I had to know what was going on ?

But my pony is... stop looking for him and updating with his life, it’s not healthy for you, it’s not worth the time you spend on it. Take care of yourself first, spoil yourself, love you more than you loved him, that’s what you need now ❤️ Throw your phone to the garbage if is necessary ? ✨ You are gonna get over this xoxo

Hiya, so I went to his followers list and found a girl who looks like me, and he follows her back which makes me think he just met her. She looks almost exactly like me, exactly she’s white, I’m mixed. Ive been doing a lot of obsessing and assuming he’s seeing her. We broke up a month ago. I deleted Instagram but am looking at her profile on safari HELP

I know is hard to stop looking for him and things related to him but you need to stop, really, the less you know the better. I even had to leave my phone for a while and force me to do a lot of things to avoid thinking about it... I started to drawing and painting (now I’m living from the art which was my dream for many years *~*) also started to listening new music a different type that I was used to and it was SO helpful cuz every song remembered me of him, sooo I stop playing those songs and find new ones (I choose kpop haha it has nooothing to do with my usual music taste but it really, really has helped me!)

For the past 3 months ish I’ve been struggling on and off with this anxiety and fixation over my relationship. To wondering if i still have feelings for an old friend, wondering if i actually love him, wondering if the thoughts are all real and im just trying to cover it up with ocd. It sucks, when im talking to my boyfriend i feel fine. The words i love you and talks about the future come naturally. I can’t imagine myself with anyone but him. But this constant rumination on my relationship is KILLING me and I’m scared it’s going to ruin what i have. It makes me numb and disconnected which therefore makes me believe the thoughts even more. They just feel so real sometimes and it’s so scary like why can i not just enjoy it. We’ve been together for a while so i know there’s periods of like feelings ebb and flowing but this is so much more. It’s just constantly sitting on my chest with anxiety. My compulsions are coming on this app, looking at photos of us and confessing it to him. He’s very understanding and helpful. I love him so much. I just need help / I’m also just starting new meds as well ..

I don’t have much of a support system outside of my bf, so I find myself here a lot. I think I just need to vent, so forgive me if I do this too often. It helps to have a community of people who truly understand. I haven’t felt this debilitated by mental illness in months. There has to be some explanation, maybe it’s hormonal, because I feel like I’ve completely lost myself. The panic hits in waves, sudden and overwhelming, like my head is submerged in lava, burning and suffocating. Then, for a brief moment, I feel almost normal and wonder what all the fear was about. But it never lasts. The chaos always comes back. I even considered going to the ER because I’m not sure I can trust myself anymore. Something has to be wrong, because this isn’t me. My life isn’t perfect, but it’s not unbearable either. Since I withdrew from school, I’ve been so much less stressed that even my cycle, which has been irregular for years, has somehow regulated itself. But even with that, I feel like a failure. I was one semester away from finishing, so close, but OCD hit me harder than it ever has. It felt like drowning, gasping for air, reaching for something solid, only to be dragged under again and again. Now, I feel like that again, but worse. I feel hollow, like something is wrong with me at my core. I don’t just feel sad; I feel broken. I break down into uncontrollable sobs every few hours, and I don’t even know why. I just know that whatever is happening, OCD is taking full advantage of how vulnerable I feel. Is this what MDD feels like? Everyone tells me I have it, and it’s been confirmed by my psych, my pcp, and my therapist, but I still can’t seem to fully see it. I don’t know how to separate what’s OCD from what might be another disorder. I’m sorry to anyone also going through such a hard time, my heart goes out to you 🤍

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
