Roller coaster feelings

Hi guys,let me briefly tell you my story:

I broke up with my bf nearly 3 months ago and since then I havent had any contact whatsoever with him. After the break up I had some kind of depression and eating disorders, recently I have gained back my appetite and looked better.

Its not like Im not moving on but I still have roller coaster kinda feeling:

- One morning I wake up, I think about him and miss him so much but I dont want to get back with him or even see him for the rest of my life
- Another morning, I feel so great and talk to myself : isnt it great? you are so independent now, why the heck did you want a bf ? etc..
- Another day I feel so grateful and wanna write him a letter to thank for the break-up:redface:
....
- Today, I feel so lonely and find no motivation to revise, my exams are coming, I cried out loud this afternoon when seeing happy couples' pics on the internet..

Have any of you guys experienced this ? How did you overcome it?

It looks like Im venting but I just need somewhere to get this off my chest

Thanks:smile:

Take it as a good thing. The fact that you feel glad you broke up some of the time is a good thing, and the amount you feel that way will slowly increase over time until you don't need him at all. :smile:

something like this could be a mild form of acute manic depression - I've seen it a few times in couples who have broken up, especially after a long relationship. It SHOULD go away, but if it doesn't, go see your doctor, who will be able to sort things out for you. Don't be embarrassed about depression, it's not something you can stop as much as people think.
