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!)

Does anyone have advice for dealing with a breakup. This hurts so bad and my brain is torturing me. OCD makes it so much worse. It’s been a month already. I need to start letting go but can’t stop. Any advice for letting things go .. ?

I was broken up with 3 weeks ago and things are just getting worse. I feel like I’m wasting away and like nothing will get better. What’s worse is knowing that if I get out of this episode my ocd will strike back and I’m scared I won’t be able to deal with it. It’s like every part of me can’t accept this break up. I’ve reached out to people but I really would love to hear stories from anyone who thought they wouldn’t make it out

I met my current boyfriend after ending things with my ex a month earlier. By coincidence, my current boyfriend and I had a class together, we became friends, and of course I started liking him. By May 2021, two months later, my feelings for him grew stronger and stronger. At that time, I wasn’t really going through a depression over my ex. In fact, little by little, we had stopped talking since January 2021, and by the end of March I told him I needed my personal space because I was dealing with another type of OCD. Looking back, during all that time I was open to getting to know this new guy (my current boyfriend). Finally, in July everything was going well between us, and we decided to stop giving each other space. Meanwhile, my ex was stalking me on social media. I was very happy to be getting to know my boyfriend at that time. In August, we had our first kiss and then, as I mentioned earlier, we stopped dating for a while. In September, we ended things, which hurt me a lot, but in November we tried again. During all that time, I didn’t have OCD. Later, in January, when my boyfriend and I made our relationship official, the doubts started: “Am I still in love with my ex?” “Am I using my boyfriend to forget my ex?” “Am I really over my ex?” The memories, physical sensations, all of that. So, my question is: does OCD with thoughts about an ex only happen to people who just broke up and are still grieving, or can it also show up later on, even if you’re already in a new relationship? I ask this because I’m afraid I might not have gotten over my ex and that these intrusive thoughts mean something else, since I’ve read that some people develop OCD right after a breakup and get stuck there. But in my case, I just moved on, and then the intrusive thoughts showed up later.
