Failed situationship has kind of triggered me & sent me into a depressive episode. Advice?

[Brunettexoxo]

I’m still sober but I’m engaging in a lot of other bad habits like laziness, laying in bed wondering why I’m not enough procrastination, comfort eating and withdrawing from friendships, failing to take care of myself properly for the past few weeks to put it mildly.

I’ve never been in a relationship and this guy gave me a lot of hope and he let me down in a very shallow, cold, inconsiderate way, as if I wasn’t enough, I forgave him and he continued to treat me like shit, so I had to block him two weeks ago and since I’ve been so low and I’ve had to even start sleeping tablets. I don't know why it affected me this much

Well you’re improving as well as can recognize your flaws while nobody is perfect some people either can’t see it, are indifferent, or just have started to enjoy these traits.

Glad you also blocked him because being around the wrong people can be draining and allow yourself to grieve. He can move on because he’s a cold person but you’re someone who I assume is still empathetic and builds attachments.

I don’t think you’re a lazy person you’re just going through some hard times

Get out and do things to take your mind off of this, especially hanging out with friends and family so you aren't alone.

My friends have been a help at first but I would just drink with them then text him when drunk, but I’ve stayed sober for a few weeks now I’m going to have to fight this battle alone, but I’ve not spoken to him in two weeks so it’s possible the end of my longing will be in sight soon.

It sounds like you have already made a very good start in the process of getting over him. Keep busy and resist any urges to text him.

Thank you for the MHO. 😊
I hope everything is going okay with you.

Your current habits (laziness, comfort eating, withdrawal) are likely coping mechanisms for dealing with the emotional pain. While they might provide temporary relief, they're not healthy long-term solutions and will only make things far worse eventually.

I’m so proud of you for taking that big step toward self -respect and blocking him! It might be hard but you deserve better. You’re going to get through this ♥️

I don't know why it affected you this much either. The guy is obviously a douche nugget, so you should be GLAD he's gone, not pining over him and ruining your health. Instead of being depressed, you SHOULD be CELEBRATING!!

Turns out, when you have no-strings-attached relationships... there are still some strings.

[Brunettexoxo]

It’s horrible how much it can affect you, everyone’s saying meet someone else, that doesn’t fix it, that actually sent me spiralling bc the others “just weren’t him” I’d freak out internally after a kiss and not want to know them anymore.

It is kinda like that.

DO, NOT, DRINK...

[HungTexan]

He’s obviously a jerk. Get over him, have some fun, meet new people.

I don't know why you do this to yourself. Your an amazing person and you definitely are enough if he can't see that you are then that's his loss. Don't punished yourself cause of someone loss

Suck it up, buttercup, that's life... either move on and enjoy life, or hate life and yourself.

It's all on you now..

I feel like that sometimes
