Mind doing over time most of the day😢

Grme18 December 18th, 2019

My anxiety has been really bad today it's my thoughts that make it a lot worse. My mind has been mostly on my ex who I've just found out was cheating well not just it's been 3 months now for the first four weeks I cried I couldn't eat sleep or even focus it's a very long story but ye it has ripped my whole world apart somedays I can get though the day without him passing my mind most days I can not which makes my anxiety a lot worse :( anyone else been through a similar situation? Any ideas when I will actually feel at peace again and enjoy life it's just so hard at the minute. Thanks in advance xxx

@Grme18

I am still dealing with similar feelings. After my boyfriend was arrested I discovered many texts, emails, and multiple accounts on my phone that he was using to contact other people. I was so angry and hurt by everything. I felt like our relationship was a lie and that I never knew who he really was. I still have days where I am overwhelmed. All I can say is that what's done is done. You cannot change the past. But you can learn from it. Also, I've started focusing on my relationships with family and friends instead. They can help distract from the pain. And you'll be surprised how many people will be able to relate. Sad but true. "How people treat you is a reflection of them, not you."

@MeeshyRB Thanks for the message of support I really appreciate it..But ye it's so hard as you no yourself it's pretty heartbreaking how a person could actually be so cruel to another human being. I suppose well I guess you still love your ex because I am exactly the same and I also wonder who he was it's quite frightening when you sit and think it's sad..I can relate to the pain your feeling which makes anxiety and depression a lot worse 😢 I also have been spending a lot of time with my family I also have children who I foucs on I act strong in front of my children I can't let them witness my pain it's when there sleeping my mind starts ticking but hopefully with time I or we should I say will feel at peace and stronger then what we are at the moment...my thoughts are with you try stay strong xx

@Grme18 Sometimes just being able to relate to someone going through a similar situation helps. And thanks as well.

The fact that we can still love someone despite the hurt they've caused us just goes to show you that we are strong. It's easy to hate. It's harder to look past those mistakes and see the person that we fell in love with. I still love my ex. I don't think that will ever go away. I spend many nights alone more sad than angry. I know that once I realize that I am worthy of a healthy and happy relationship it will be easier to let go.

I have never had a boyfriend, but I suggest that you write in a journal to vent out your thoughts. Once they are out, focus on other things. Don

Hi there.

I can definitely relate to the situation you are in. It just hurts so badly when you find out that a person you trusted and cared about so much betrayed you. That's why I think it's totally ok to not feel your best for a while. I think realizing how you feel and then accepting that it hurts is a crucial step. At the same time, I think it's REALLY important to take care of yourself. Do lots of thinks you love and surround yourself with people that are good for you.

Like another person posted before, journaling is a great idea. Just letting everything out. And you could also write down things you like about yourself, things you are grateful for and things you look forward to because that might put you in a good mood :)

Wish you all the best!
