Old Flame, Old Anxiety

My ex almost relationship has recently unblocked me and we've started talking again. We both did growing in the 3 months apart, however due to different reasons.

While telling me she doesn't trust me, she still told me about all the trauma that accord while we were apart. Eventually she ended up in a mental institution due to a complete breakdown.

Judging by the timeline she unblocked me almost immediately after completing her therapy. I've decided to help her through her issues and be there for her, however every now and then things become to much and she loses control and needs space. While getting the space she says she doesn't even know why she unblocked me.

I genuinely believe she actually doesn't know why. It triggers a lot of the old anxiety and overthinking issues I used to have the first time around and I don't know how to combat them this time

@mullinzboyz

sometimes we cannot restart a friendship/ relationship as you said you both grew in the time you were apart..... i think she does knew why she unblocked you and is having trouble adjusting after her therapy.... you as a person from her past may trigger her to feelings / ideas she thought she put behind her in therapy.

sometimes if this is going back and forth it may be time to see the people you were before all this are no longer here and that may be true of your relationship

@toughTiger6481 I chose to do growing as a way to improve on my issues that were present within our situationship. I did hope she would come back and be open to reconnecting, however I have no idea why I was Unblocked, especially as a week before she went into the institution, I texted her that I still loved her and saw myself marrying her one day
