First entry.

The past two years I have been lied to, cheated on (so I suspect), and controlled. For those two years I was with the same person, who is now my ex boyfriend. Three weeks ago I broke up with him in order to better myself. During those two years I lost myself and became part of a couple instead of my own person. I ended the relationship because I came to the conclusion that I needed to work on myself, and there was no way that I could do that while I was in a relationship. The hardest part of being newly single is that I get lonely easily, so I have been either surrounding myself with other people, or on facebook, or reading. Anything to keep my mind from running away with itself and making my depression kick in again. A friend of mine suggested this site to me, and now if I am able to, I am signed on here. I feel I have already gotten more support on here than I have from anyone else in the past three weeks. I find it easier to pour my heart out to strangers than it is to those who are close to me, so this site has been my salvation.
