Relationship Anxiety

Is relationship anxiety a thing? Like ever since my partner split up with me and we don’t talk to each other I feel so unhappy and sad. My mood is lacklustre nothing grumpy or moody but a little frustrated a side never seen at all before or during my time spent with her. She felt home, she was my comfort zone my safe spot now even around my work surroundings I don’t feel safe. I feel anxious and scared. I thank my best friend for all he does for me, but without I am nothing. I am lost to pieces, my heart is shattered, I want to cry. 5 and a half months ago we said quits to a 3 year relationship and this upcoming week in the middle of the week will be 3 years we first met each other but without in each other presence. I apologise if I am venting but I honestly and actually don’t know what to do I want to cry and cry badly 😭

We've all been there at some point... Remember Life is a rollercoaster, you're just on a downward bit at the moment. It'll get better bro, you just got to keep the faith and KNOW that there will be better times ahead.

Maybe a change of environment might do you good. How about going on a vacation for a week or so with your mate? You never know, you might meet "una senorita bonita"

Well it’s a tough one to be honest I love her so much, my heart is numb and weak. My heart still has so much love for her. And I am still waiting for her. There’s nothing more I can do but that. Yes there’s tears to hold back but for me to fight and stay strong for her I’ll have to do that.

Brother don’t see it happening man. Damage has been done. I was too emotionally attached to her, she made me happy so much, I loved her so much. I can’t see it happening I just can’t.

I think you might benefit from therapy, I don't know why exactly she left but it appears that your feelings are very intense and you might find value in unpacking that with someone who can help

Yeah I might have to I have found it difficult to overcome her and I still have feelings for her. She said she left well it was the end of us because she wanted to become the best version of herself for me, at the time she was in her last year of university with exams and coursework also.

Hello, I completely get you. I experienced something similar with my ex boyfriend. However, I promise it gets better. Don't try to shut out your emotions for her. Like you said, you clearly love her still. Instead learn to cope with the fact that you were there for her like she was for you. Shutting out love doesn't help. Trust meeee. See if you can still be friends with her. Because obviously you're attached and she probably is too. I really hope you recover

Thank you so much 😢. I really appreciate and am glad someone able to relate. I mean we haven’t closed the door on contacting each other although communication has become very dry between the both of us her especially. Before we would text every single day if anything between the both of us the one likely that is going to initiate a text is me.

Ouch another thing I can relate to. The awkwardness when texting. I'd say honestly acknowledge the relationship is over. Since she said she wants to be better, there might be hope for you guys (I'm rooting yayy🤗). However, during this time try to find things you enjoy. I liked to go to the park for mental walks. You might wanna hang out with a friend, if you have a best friend perhaps. You can keep reaching out but only to check up on her not to initiate something soo you don't turn out to be a disturbance to her. Finally, it's moree than okay to cryyy. Just let it out ✨️
