I just need some type of outlet to help me move on from this trauma bond i have with him.

This is a support group. I know there's not a lot of people active on here, but you're more than welcome to talk here.

Did you try maybe Googling for support groups in your area? Are you talking about wanting to find - in person - ones?

I got into an in person, anxiety support group, but it was through my therapist. Do you have a therapist, because talking to a therapist can be very helpful during a break up or bad relationship. Also, check Amazon. They have a lot of good break up books and books about narcissistic people. YouTube has lots of free videos to watch about this also.

You're not alone. You're going to be okay. Are you away from that bad situation?

Yeah he blew me off which im sure everyone in my life thinks is the best thing in the world. I am the only one whos struggling to breathe with it. He blocked my number he just took off after 7 years. I am perty sure he is back with this other girl he was dating on and off that he cheated on with me numerous times. He is all toxic but i cant help being stuck. I was thinking grief therapy but those people have real issues with loss. And my situation doesn't seem to fit in there. I do have a therapist. I listen to different e books. I am trying to exercise. But i cant seem to let go of this past we once had. That person is long gone. he is not and never will be the person i dated all that time ago. he poisoned my mind with lies of marriage a ring a house and a future all the while having a new gf for a year after he walked out on me. I am just so tired of the pain

With any loss, whether it be due to death or the loss of someone we loved, takes time. Memories are with us the rest of our lives but, we cannot let these memories dictate to us, otherwise we can't move forward in our lives. We can not change others even though we often try. Change has to come from within. I am an ex-biker, ex-drug user, and ex-alcoholic. I have been drug and alcohol free now 47 years next month.

I have been here on DS for over 15 years. Regardless of the toxicidity of a relationship, there will always be the memories of the good times and the plans for the future. When our goals and plans fail, we often times blame ourselves and this causes depression and low self esteem.
We have to give ourselves a slap of reality and take control of our lives and do the work it takes to make it better. This is what I had to do and, had I not done it, I would not be alive today. If you choose to message me, I'll be glad to share more with you.

    I'm horrified!  I knew my insurance would go up due to getting a new car but I didn't expect it to go up over $2,000.  I did have an accident with the snow/ice in the winter.  I was just telling my brother that I have had my car since March 2, 2026 and have only spent $75 on an oil change.  Now this!  I called another insurance company and their quote was over $4,000.  I guess I have to pay...
