Dan321 Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Me and my girlfriend broke up about 4 months ago. We still talk a lot, and talk as if we never broke up in the first place. I still love her a lot but she says so much hurtful stuff to me. This break up has destroyed me as a person. I have picked up a bad drinking habit and I always go overboard when getting drunk. I'm only twenty and it feels as though I'm an alcoholic. I've also starting using drugs, hoping to forget or distract myself from the sad reality. I treat people differently to how I used to, and I'm far less sociable than I was before. I can't focus on my studies and I just can't move on. I feel like I'm falling into a deep dark hole and I'm beginning to get worried about what's waiting for me at the bottom. I've thought about ending it all but I get too scared. I know I should cut all ties with her but it just doesn't seem that simple. Please help me before I get broken beyond repair
Seth0194 Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Hey listen, coming from someone who just lost the love of his life, I know it is hard (and I am 40, so been around a bit and had a few relationships including being married, my ex and I were never married) First you have to cut the strings man, speaking from XP My ex and I tried to do the roommate thing and after about two weeks I was driving myself insane, NC was started shortly after and though it was hard I am a lot better now. Its like kicking a drug or a habit, you have to do it cold turkey or suffer in madness. Next Alcohol is a depressant, its only going to amplify those feelings and make you feel more pain, you need to stop drinking. Get to the gym, start running riding a bike anything that will help you. There is no easy cure all for love, trust me if the pharmaceutical industry could create one they would. You have to go through the emotions and learn to let go. If you are in crisis an need someone to talk to 1 (800) 273-8255 here is the number, it is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Stay strong and use these forums, they will help, just listen and know you are not alone. Good luck.
Author Dan321 Posted October 12, 2015 Author Posted October 12, 2015 Thank you so much this has really helped. I've decided to put myself on a drinking ban. I'm currently building up the courage to cut all ties.
