my heart is completely broken and I can tell I'm falling into a depression. my ex broke up with me about four weeks ago and the pain I feel is still unbearable. he's the only thing on my mind. I even keep dreaming of him and us hugging and him telling me he loves me and is sorry... I keep thinking of all the great times we shared, all the things he's told me... I cry everyday. I feel like I will never find someone and have the connection I did with him... I honestly thought he was the guy I would spend my life with, and now it's all gone. the thought of never seeing him again is so hard to imagine... I deleted his Facebook because I couldn't handle seeing him post pictures with his friends and other girls anymore, it's as if he's a completely different person... as if he doesn't even care... I wish I could get over this. I wish I could stop feeling this way... how do I cope?

I am in the same position after 6 years. It was mutual but I had my doubts as to his feelings prior to the split and both of our behaviour deteriorated. What's hurt me is how cold he's been. How hurtful his breadcrumbs have been. How I've missed him but he clearly doesn't feel the same. How one text from him could have made me happy...and that's not right. I've had to cut all contact, block his friends, change my social life, it's the only way. I've had psychology sessions and finally on antidepressants but if that's what it takes for me to be strong enough to block this person from my life before he completely destroys me then so be it.

I'm sorry to hear you are going through so much pain now. How old are you if you don't mind me asking? I read from somewhere that male dumpers tend to come back more so I'm sure he would reach out to you at some point. Stay strong. Hugs.

I'm sorry you have to go through this. It's not a good feeling at all. Right now you have to allow yourself to feel the pain and the loss. Cry as much as you can. You'll need to start with small steps and take things day by day. I know it's easier said then done, but you have to do your very best. The most important thing right now is your well being. Take care of yourself. Try and eat, even if you dont feel like it. Take warm showers and even get some fresh air. Try to keep your body moving. Take the littlest accomplishments as a win. Be around good friends and family. I know it sucks, but you have to. Remember many of us on here are going thru the same struggle, you are not alone. Keep positive and love yourself.

I can tell you one thing for certain right now, Im 4 1/2 months post break up and was in the exact same shape as you if not a little worse tbh, I did happen to fall into a bad depression and had to seek help. (Worst low of my life) But I learned a lot from all this time. Your the most important person to you right now, all the info on this forum did not exactly apply to my circumstances so I didn't really listen but it is. listen to what most people say on here, these people know. Trust them.

 

I was heartbroken for 3 months nearly on the button, the time spent since then was in letting go. Do not get me wrong, I filled my life with trying to keep busy and looking forward to things i really want to do. Hope this helps

 

My biggest lesson is one that is the hardest to do. Try to stay positive and look at all the good in the world for every and any reason be it friends family or nature, The world can be a beautiful place, you just have to look at it in the right way.
