Empty
I’ve been feeling empty and like im just existing. My boyfriend got in a car accident August 22nd, 2023. He thankfully survived but decided to do something that would cause me so much pain. He pretended he didn’t remember me, I was in a very bad depressive state and didn’t have anyone to help me. (I didn’t know he has pretending at the time). We have the same job and that’s how we meet, I was working in November and saw him, I was depressed and shocked to see him working but everyone was laughing and I was so confused. I left work and my best friend (also works there) told me that at her shift everyone was talking about what he did and if he felt guilty pretending to forget me, he said it was the only way to be able to get out of the relationship and date the girl he secretly meet the month before when I was on my summer holiday. I refused to believe it and thought he was my other half but it was confirmed when his gf requested me on *** and the pfp was them. I Need help and was wondering if anyone has any advice to be able to move on. It’s been 6 months and I cannot feel like this anymore. I cannot quit as my mom won’t allow me, I blocked the gfs acc and dont have any access to contact with him either. But having to see him at work brings me pain. I need to get better but physically cannot. Wondering if anyone’s felt the same.
@Kaitlynp2023 I'm truly sorry to hear that you're going through such a difficult time, and I appreciate you sharing your feelings. It must be incredibly challenging to cope with the emotional turmoil brought on by your boyfriend's actions.
First and foremost, give yourself credit for reaching out and seeking support. Healing from such a betrayal takes time, and it's okay not to have all the answers right now.
You might consider talking to a mental health professional who can offer guidance and strategies to help you navigate through these emotions. Moving on from a situation like this is a gradual process, and having a professional to support you can make a significant difference.
Remember to take care of yourself, by engaging in activities that bring you comfort and joy, and allowing yourself the time and space to heal. It's completely normal to feel a range of emotions, so be patient and compassionate with yourself.
If you ever need someone to talk to, please feel free to reach out. You are not alone in this journey, and there are people who care about you. Take care 💙
