Hi,
Anon for personal reasons.
Basically what the title of the thread says. It's been eight months since I broke up with my girlfriend, and I still feel shattered, broken and horrible,
We went out for three years, so we shared a lot of experiences together, and while part of our break up was due to distance, most of it was down to the fact that she 'no longer loved me' anymore, according to her. The last time we met (2 months ago) i found out she moved on, and is dating someone else. I've felt even more broken ever since.
I find myself thinking back to good times involuntarily- when i go out for a run, for example, I'll see a couple walking in the park and memories will reignite. I've found myself avoiding places where we spent time together- really stupid places like coffee shops or art museums, because I'm afraid I'll end up having a breakdown if I go in. I know it's unhealthy to think in such terms, but i can't really help myself. In fact, I was quite close to falling apart on a train a few months ago, after remembering an emotionally intimate moment we had at one of the stops.
I know it sounds pathetic, but its having a real impact on my life- I'm finding myself so demotivated to do anything, whether its applying for jobs, going to the gym etc. it's horrible, but despite everything I've tried to do (charity work, working, reading, watching films etc) I still can't shake it off.
Does anyone have some good advice to overcome this horrible feeling?
