About 6 years ago I decided to break up with my girlfriend of 2 years. Everything was going well when I decided to go to the hospital address my issues and call it off. I've never been the same. I have dreams about her and the pain still wont go away. I haven't been able to be in a good relationship ever since. I'm jealous that she might be doing better than I am, but I just don't know. I don't dare to ask her or bother her, because at this point it's just wrong to. I feel so lonely and bored all the time, especially when I wake up having a dream that she's still in my life. It's very traumatizing. All I do these days is sit at home on DS, smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee. I go to work at 5 and I start school after Christmas. I though I was getting accepted into a major University, but I haven't received an acceptance letter yet. I'm getting depressed. I don't know what to do.

My best advice to you is to keep yourself busy and do nurturing things for yourself... be selfish for a change. Working out helps me. Or even going and volunteering somewhere to pass the time and keep your mind off of things. Good luck to you. Do you see a therapist at all? They can really help a great deal.

You are really trying so hard to turn your life around, it is very inspiring. My daughter is in a similar place with wanting to be back in college, trying very hard. I really wish you well.

As far as contacting the old gf., I dont recommend it. You have both gotten older, and may not have as much in common as you remember. With all the new opportunities coming up in your life with school, you likely will meet someone through school connections, who will have things in common with you, and be at a similar point in life.

Keep up the good work!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
