Question

It will take a little time for that feeling to go.

David6124 · Answer

When my first gf cheated on me when I was out of state for an internshipfor two months, and decided to break up with me over a message, I was devastated. I tried to meet her one last time face to face to give her the gifts I got for her from there and to talk calmly about it. But she came there with the guy with whom she cheated on to meet me.

It took me almost an year to be able to atleast not feel sh*tty about it.

David6124 · Answer

So yeah. It will take its time. There would be days when you'd just feel like dying. Feel like whatever you do doesn't matter. Having doubts like am I not good enough? Am I a mental person to be with? Confidence level will drop to zero. You can't even face the friends and classmates that knew about your relationship. Ha. But hold on a lil, you will get through that.

it requires extreme courage to just forget the person and his misdeeds.  you're a strong person if you could just move on

David6124 · Answer

Hmm. No. I'm not. Someone was there who helped me to get out of it.

but what if there's no one who understands what you're going through? can we be able to cope up with everything all alone??

David6124 · Answer

Initially it would be so darn hard to cope. Won't even feeling like getting up. Whatever I touch was getting messed up. I met this person a year after my break up. That 1 year I had so many low points. As much as I hate to admit it, I even became a s*x addict that time. Idk, when I'm low my mental hormones rages up. These days even if it happens, I just try to work out to calm myself down from such thoughts.

unhappygirl · Answer

yes it's too difficult to just do normal life things like eating and sleeping. everything seems like a big task. it feels there is no end to this.

Try to engage yourself in something which excites you, which makes you happy and try to talk more and more to your friends or family whomsoever you are comfortable with.

unhappygirl · Answer

I have tried doing that. maybe I should try harder but I just don't have that strength.

David6124 · Answer

Hmm. Take it slow.

David6124 · Answer

Initially you won't feel like doing anything. Food won't taste good. Sleep won't come. It will take time

unhappygirl · Answer

yes. always tired, always irritated

David6124 · Answer

Haan. For small things we'd get angry fast. Try to distract yourself with some movies or series. Not dark or romantic ones. Normal comedy ones. you won't be able to focus at all initially. Later you will be fine during the show, when it ends it all comes back. And then after some time again, ud get used to it all and will be fine. it's less energy consuming. u can just lie in bed n do
