Can’t stop thinking I ruined my life breaking up with my ex
Relationship Stress / by mikejmcg24

...See more I broke up with my ex almost 3 years ago and was doing fine / wasn’t thinking about her / had truly felt I had moved on. Then about a month ago I hear she’s now with someone else and now I can’t stop thinking about her and that I ruined my life by breaking up with her. It felt like I was hit by a bus of emotions and these emotions are consuming me. It doesn’t make any sense because I never felt anything remotely like this the past couple of years, but now it’s always in the back of my mind and sometimes takes me to dark places. I just feel so much regret from breaking up with her, thinking where we would be now and that we could have been so happy together. It’s driving me insane and I just need to let it out because the feelings won’t go away. I just don’t understand why I feel this way suddenly after so much time when I never previously regretted the breakup. Why did hearing she was with someone else trigger all these feelings? It all doesn’t make any sense to me but I can’t stop thinking these things no matter what I tell myself and am really struggling with it. Thank you for reading and appreciate any and all support.
