Lizrd3000 Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 my girlfriend broke up with me two weeks ago, and ever since the break up, everytime I think about her(all the time) i get this uncomfortable feeling inside my stomach, somewhat like the butterfly feeling when you're attracted to someone, but this feels so uncomfortable and makes me feel depressed, or something.. it's hard to describe, but if this is even remotely relevant, I'm on medication, Lexapro, for depression and anxiety. please provide me with some of your own stories, or help me with how I can get rid of this feeling. it happened after the break-up, never had it pre breakup.
Mr Scorpio Posted October 12, 2013 Posted October 12, 2013 Here is my story. As for getting rid of that feeling? 1. Exercise. Exercise will release chemicals into your brain that will make you feel better physically and emotionally. 2. Monitor your thoughts. I won't go so far as to say that negative thoughts will release "feel-bad" chemicals into your brain (whatever those are), but I certainly believe that there is a cyclical-connection between the mind and the brain. Physical changes in the brain can effect the mind, and what goes thru the mind can effect the brain. 3. Keep posting. Keep talking with others. Find a depression chatroom. 2
Author Lizrd3000 Posted October 12, 2013 Author Posted October 12, 2013 Wow, I just read your story, and it really took my mind of my own problems, I really enjoyed reading your story, sad it's so short, haha! no really, I don't read books, but I'd gladly read your story if it were to be a book. alright, seriously though, thanks for your answer. I hope things are going alright with you, I'm not one to judge, but you do see that this girl is putting you on a string, right..? You should go out and meet women just like she's meeting other dudes. there's no such thing as ''the one'', and if there is, there are multiple ''the ones'' for everyone, you're not bound to that person. I hope you realize this. Man, I hope things turn out alright for you. I wish I could give you better advice, but I'm only 18 years old who just got dumped by his first love two weeks ago, hahah.
Author Lizrd3000 Posted October 12, 2013 Author Posted October 12, 2013 Also, your thread doesn't allow people to post in it anymore, thus I'm posting here, just making sure you know!
Mr Scorpio Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Alright, seriously though, thanks for your answer. I hope things are going alright with you, I'm not one to judge, but you do see that this girl is putting you on a string, right..? Other than having little-to-no free time, things are alright with me. I've been too busy to spend much time thinking about her. She's happily married and not a part of my life. I wish I could give you better advice, but I'm only 18 years old who just got dumped by his first love two weeks ago, hahah. That's alright. I'm glad you found some solace in the story. Better that you got your first dumping out of the way while you are young. Hang in there. You'll be alright. 1
Author Lizrd3000 Posted October 13, 2013 Author Posted October 13, 2013 my girlfriend of half a year broke up with me 2 weeks ago, and we had 2 convo's on whatsapp during this time, both of her starting with ''hey, how are you?'' and I always responded and we got into a conversation. just now, she did the same thing. ''hey, how are you?'' after 5 days of NC. should I tell her how I am? (I'm doing OK-ish now) or just go NC? the thing is, she'll see I was online and knows I've been ignoring her, and part of me hopes we can reconcile, but I know that won't happen, she lost interest in me. so, ignore or tell her how I am, and keep it short? I know it seems childish, but I just need to know, haha.
Toddbt12y1 Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Keep ignoring her. You have had no contact for 5 days. You confirmed she lost interest, and this will not work. I'd say keep NC.
loveofhorses1970 Posted October 13, 2013 Posted October 13, 2013 Stay NC...communicating with her is only keeping you emotionally stirred up.
