What to do if you can’t simply recover?

Like before the relationship I didn’t have friends it was literally wake up go to work come home. During the relationship I feel like I had someone who cared about me that I mattered to the world. I developed mutual friends through the relationship. The relationship ended last may we lived together still until August because that’s when our lease ended. Some family members have said don’t worry you’ll find someone better. But for me I just keep replaying it over in my head everyday seems like the breakup day. I constantly think about how much my life was better than versus now. I still sleep as if my bed is divided into two sides

Just listen your family. They are right.

How so my life has dramatically shifted to a worse place no relationship no friends because they have since moved, no social circle nobody

I see. Pessimism is a damn sickness. People should find ways to feel happy. You're still alive and i guess you're healthy, right? If you're so, you must be happy.

Yeah definitely no happy

[Asker]

Not happy

Seeing a therapist could help.

But therapist understand normal psychological issues. If you have a developmental disability it’s not as easy to move past. You also tend to experience emotions stronger

Good point.

[Asker]

Like it’s very difficult to manage mental illness that’s connected to a developmental disability
