Why am I still terrified and affected by being abandoned if it has happened so many times already?

[Anonymous]

Being abandoned is a repeated theme in my life...

Since I was young I felt neglected and not needed or important or even human for that matter.

I see my ex that I thought I was over, posted a picture of his new girlfriend and I had a bit of a shock then I started crying and being depressed..

Why is this affecting me so much? I could have sworn I was over him.. He is certainly not the first guy to have done and this has happened many times before with different men so why is this hurting so much?

Well first definitely work on that feeling, like one said maybe seek a therapist?

But first I guess you're just still heart broken, you should never look up an ex and learn to move on
Also always remember, he is out of your life for a good reason and you're definitely better off without him, faith will send you the right one, when the timing is there

Have you ever been diagnosed with BPD fear of abandonment is one of the signs of BPD

You have to try and tell yourself your ex’s didn’t abandon you god works in mysterious ways and he removes people from our lives when he see those people are not good for us

Being abandoned at a young age can affect a person for life. I was abandoned by my father. You should consider seeing a therapist.

Don't live your life on social media, and living in the past is not healthy.
