My anxiety became EXTREMELY worse after my boyfriend broke up with me. We were together for 2 years and I thought he was the love of my life. It was really difficult for me to deal with but I turned to my family and I did go on meds. How long have you been on the meds? And what kind are they? Mine made me feel jittery and yucky for a good 8-10weeks but eventually the jitterness went away and I started to feel better. Just hang in there and keep positive!!

What happened, or do you not want to talk about it ? I can understand how you are feeling - were you together for 7 years ? That is a long time, and of course your anxiety is flying way out of control ! Try to do some deep breathing - very slow and deep. What meds are you on ? I know that you can recover from this loss - right now you are grieving obviously. Give yourself some time, and try to let those meds. and breathing work. Maybe do something you like to do that does not remind you of her. Do try to nurture yourself and take good care.

I know the feeling. I was with my guy for two years when he broke up with me and it was the worst feeling in the world. Anxiety like none other for months. I couldn't bear the thought of him and his new life without me. Thinking about the past would always trigger a horrible panic attack.

The best thing to do in this situation is socialize and watch funny movies. That helped me a lot. I got closer to old friends and family, and learned how to have a good time. You just have to occupy your mind with other things rather than your ex. Being with other positive people helps so much. Force a smile and laugh and just KEEP reinforcing it and soon enough you will start to feel better and the anxiety will subside.

I really feel for you. I am now trying to get off my last medication and I wanted to advise you to be careful of these powerful drugs. They are very difficult to get wean off of.
