Emotional Withdrawal
Relationship Stress / by froggbones
Last post
 July 17th, 2022
...See more I just ended a my relationship of eight months on Monday because at the time I felt like it was toxic and I couldn’t be happy, but all week I’ve been on an emotional rollercoaster of wanting to move on and wanting to get back together. I’m going through such bad withdrawal that I can’t sleep, eat, get out of bed, and I keep wailing and throwing up. I was very codependent which is why I felt I needed to end things to figure out who I was. I lost my whole identity to my relationship and it felt like my boyfriend wasn’t respecting me or my feelings. Still, despite having logical reasons for ending things, I feel like I ruined my life and I’ll never come out of this hole. I still love him, and I wanted a future with him so bad. I don’t know what to do.

Anticipatory Grief and Preparing to Lose a Loved One

...See more I’ve never posted a thread on this app before, but I’ve gotten to the point where I’m not sure who to go to. My grandfather is critically ill and withering away rapidly. He had a stroke a year ago but is now on his last legs. The surgeons decided he won’t survive an operation needed to prevent sepsis, so he’s coming home on hospice care so he can pass peacefully. I’d accepted a while ago that he wouldn’t get any better and the worst was likely, but I find myself sick now that we’re planning his funeral. I’ve thrown up every day and felt such severe anxiety that I’ve felt close to passing out. Visiting him in the hospital is so painful now, seeing how much he’s declining. He refuses to eat and hardly drinks. I hold his hand and he squeezes so tight like he doesn’t want to let go. I just don’t know how to handle what im feeling right now. I don’t know how to get on with my life and pretend this isn’t happening. Im starting a new job in a day and I just can’t focus. I know he and everyone else would want me to focus on myself but it’s so hard. I’ll take any advice I can get. Has anyone else gone through this? I wouldn’t mind hearing your stories.
