I feel lost
Honestly. I need help. My girlfriend and I broke up about three months ago and that took a toll on me. About three weeks ago she asked for space and that completely broke me and to her that's fine and okay. But for me I feel lost and alone. My family don't understand because they didn't like her. And when I try to talk to her about everything. My ex thinks I'm being crazy, yeah some of the messages could've made her think it but she knows me. Or at least I thought she did. She kept telling me I need a therapist so here I am. Hoping this helps. I miss my friend more than anything.
Hello there,
I can almost feel the pain you're talking about through the post. You lost what was a significant part of your life, I wouldn't be surprised if you felt lost. I don't know about your relationship, at the same time it seems you really cared for it and devoted yourself to it. I also felt what a breakup really feels like to an existential level, and cried all of my shades of emotions and thoughts out for one whole year.
The pain you're sharing is strong because it comes from your sincere feelings and utmost devotion. I can see that and it amazes me to know how capable you are, to love yourself.
I'm sorry to hear that when you said you tried to talk to your ex and to your parents about this sense of feeling lost you weren't heard, that would have made me more desperate. From what I can understand you also want to mourn a connection that you had with yourself and that was part your relationship, hence you feel lost. The pain that generated this feeling of loss is a sign that the connection is within yourself now, you don't know how to adapt to it, how to deal with it. Which is humanly understandable.
Thank you for caring, thank you for wanting.
You can write to me if you feel like it or write to other listeners. Searching for a therapist could also be a valid option, you don't need to be "crazy" to try it out or to desperately need it.
See ya🤗
