I hate my life and myself and this breakup is all my fault

Posted

The best advice is to seek some counseling or professional help, at the moment your self worth seems to be distorted, and you feel the whole world is coming down on you, and your mind tries to erradicate this feeling at one go, this is a burden which is only temporarily although it feels permanently.

 

In these moments, try to connect with family or close friends, and slowly you will come out.

 

Breakups have a very devastating effect on the mind but only so because you feel this person was the world to you , he/she might have been but definitely not the entirety, look outside this person and the world which exists outside your relationship, that world is wider and brings you more joy.

 

Hang in there

Reach out to someone, please. Your brain is being flushed with hormones and chemicals that it hasn’t seen in some time. This part will pass, I promise you that. I’ve found it helpful to start a thread on here just to diary my feelings. It helps to get them out and also leaves a history for you to follow your progress as you heal.

Hey there,

 

I second what Young Mind said: reach out to someone: got to an emergency of a hospital: they will find someone (a psychiatrist?) who can help you. There is no shame or weakness in doing that. To the contrary, a couple of psychologists told me that those who seek counselling are the smartest as they know when they need help. I did that and would warmly encourage you to do so.

 

The second very good point is that "you [may] feel this person was the world to you, [but] the world which exists outside your relationship, [and in fact] that world is wider and brings you more joy".

 

How?

Think about your own family, your friends, sports, comedy and all the things you enjoy.

 

At last, another thing I used to think myself is I HAD A LIFE BEFORE I MET THAT PERSON. So your life will continue without that person and in no circumstances should stop because this person is no more part of your life.

 

And practically: go to the gym, watch comedies or sports (things that lift up your humour), and do not stay at home in your bed reminiscing.

 

Keep up posted my friend ;)

Your EX who you feel so upset over is a liar & a cheater. You know this. He is not worth your time & certainly not your life. This break up is NOT your fault.

 

 

If you are feeling that distraught, please call a suicide prevention hotline. Here is the national hotline in the U.S. 1-800-273-8255

 

 

Do something to self soothe. Go for a walk. Stuff your face with ice cream.

 

 

You will eventually feel better. Hang in there.
