Sake Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 a few days ago I completely lost my mind, I guess you can say I went insane. I couldn't get a hold of my thoughts, so many thoughts raced through my head and I had a panic attack and went completely paranoid (used to happen a lot before - but stopped). since about two days ago, my mind is crystal clear, it feels like all the negative thoughts and feelings just disappeared out of no where, just like that. Most importantly thoughts of my ex just left my mind..I used to be deeply in love with this girl she meant everything to me but she ended up leaving me for another guy 9 months ago (shes still with him). Suddenly I just stopped caring and feeling sad, my outlook is only focused on the future and on other women. None of this makes any sense to me, it feels like my mind and body just got sick of constantly wondering and wondering if she'll ever come back that it just pushed all the thoughts away and made me accept the harsh reality. NC for 4 months ago, broken up for about 9 months. Has this happened to anyone, or can anyone explain this?
Fufu Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 It happened to me before, a few days before that I completely believe in myself that I can be happy being single, I was feeling weak, panic attacks, crying over for my ex. I wouldn't say it is a harsh reality, in fact i felt it is a good reality. I begin to feel that if my ex is really seriously in love with me, he wouldn't just drop me off like this without even talking and working things out with me, not even once he gave the relationship a chance and I began to feel uncomfortable if he could be so selfish and mean, he can do it again to me and being hurt by him the 2nd time, I don't think I can recover so fast or maybe I can never recover again. It's a true blessing in disguise for me. Celebrate instead of doubting yourself.

NC for 4 months ago, broken up for about 9 months. Has this happened to anyone, or can anyone explain this? Oh yeah, this happened to me years ago with my last ex. After that it was just over, done. I chalked it up to me finally facing reality and letting go. Painful, difficult, distressing but once I accepted it? I didn't need to hang on anymore, actually I didn't want to hang on anymore. I could see him and us for what we were. Not right for eachother, and him? Sooo not what I want in a partner. I have been with DF for almost 3 years now (We didn't get together for some time after I had moved on) and I couldn't be happier or more greatful. Maybe you are finally giving it up. Maybe you finally are accepting who she is, what the situation is, and reality and you just don't need to hang onto that hurt anymore.
singer24 Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 yes this has also happened to me. I almost felt like i had an "out of body" experience where i just completely lost my mind for a night and for weeks after i was numb, emotionless. I felt nothing. My nerves were shot. I felt like i was walking through life on a cloud. In a daze. It was the scariest thing that's ever happened to me in my life. Oh, I also had the paranoid feeling. So paranoid in fact that I was alone in my apartment and had to keep a knife beside my bed because i felt like someone was coming after me. It was very strange. I talked to a councilor the day after and they told me i had experienced a nervous breakdown. Afterwards your body and mind is just so exhausted mentally and physically from the experience that you go through a phase for a little bit of just almost not really feeling. Just be careful. If you feel it may happen again, go talk to someone. It takes a toll on you for no reason and it's not worth it, and not fair to yourself. It only happened to me that one time, and i'm happy now. Maybe you should talk to a professional about your experience just to get an outside opinion and to see what a good way to handle it is NOW. You may think you're ok...but im telling you right now in my experience i felt like i was "re-born" and a different person after that happened to me but it took me a long time to feel like myself again.
