Hello. You can call me Clements. Currently, I'm living alone and it has been tough with Covid and the student life. Last year however, I met someone who I used to be very fond of. He helped me overcome my loneliness and we almost got together in a relationship. However, he didn't like me the way I liked him and had immediately moved on by finding someone new. Although we weren't together, it hurt me just like a break up. It has been more than 6 months now and I can't keep on staying in this spiral of grief. I feel like it's worse because we almost had something and yet it just slipped out of my grasp. I had better days in my moving-on months, but most of it all are just a blur now. It's as if time stopped for me. Today, I finally decided to take the initiative and seek professional help because it's making me very unhappy. Thank you for listening.

Hi, you can call me Najma or Star.


Wow, that sounds a lot like my story lately. I am also a student and also I felt lame for having a broken heart because I was never in an official relationship with the person I liked/loved. Like your person, my person simply moved on too.

A hope deferred makes the heart sick — your experience is very real and you’ve just shown me that I’m not alone or weird. Clements, thank you for having the courage to share. It sounds like you also feel crushed and weighed down. Know that even if I can’t make it better for you, I care, for what it’s worth.

Also, if that’s okay, I’m praying for you.

I also live alone and dealing the ending of a relationship. It takes a lot to admit you have a problem and seek help. There are better days ahead for both of us. I am happy you shared with us.
