Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Ever cry and not know exactly what's wrong? That's me every night. I've lost so much in my life and I know my problems isn't greater than anyone else. I just don't know how to over come mine.
I was in a relationship for 5 years. He treated me like crap but I stayed. He cheated a lot but iguess I don't love myself and that's why I stayed. He is now in a relationship with someone else that he treats way better than he did me and I wonder why. What was wrong with me..
once we broke up, I met a wonderful guy. He was so good to me but I was so wrapped up on my ex( was still talking to him ). I hurt this wonderful guy so bad and didn't realize how much I did until he ended things. I feel so bad. I feel like I lost someone that saw me and loved me for who I was but my insecurities are so bad that I pushed him away. Now he is in a relationship and he's happy. I miss him so much..
I just feel like everyone is better off with me out of their life. I feel so alone and empty. I don't have many good friends. They all just use me for what I can do for them. I'm always checking up on everyone and no one ever checks up on me. I feel hopeless
I sorry you are hurting! Seems like you got out of an abusive relationship. Five years of that can take a toll on your mental and emotional health. Have u ever read up on narcisstic abuse, emotional abuse, or codependency?
Just bc you break up or leave a toxic relationship doesn't mean you have healed the wounds from it. You tend to carry it into the next relationship n feel you aren't worthy of anything good or kind. So sometimes we end up self sabotaging good things...bc that was what we were use to with the abusive relationship.
Take some time to seek therapy. Read and learn about the topics i listed above. Your self esteem, self worth, and identity all take a huge blow in an abusive relationship, especially when u see them running off n being kind to someone new.
Just here to you remind you... all relationships have their honeymoon phase. Don't believe everything you see or don't see. But look... it will take some time n work... but u will get to a point where his happiness or unhappiness has no effect on you whatsoever. Try removing him from social media n blocking him so he no longer exists.
Look at topics also on healing emotional abuse.
You're not alone!
Sending you light n love. It hurts i know. Just take one day at a time.
Focus on self care.
It takes a while to heal from a toxic relationship. It takes time and distance for you to heal enough to be a good fit for someone else. Second.... you are a worthy person and you will be a good partner in a relationship once you heal. So remember your worth. Do not sell yourself short.
I would get a good therapist to talk with and help you deal with the toxic nature and learn to get rid of what you don't need in your life. Focus on healing yourself before trying to concentrate on someone else. You will be in better relationships.
