Dealing with Obsessive Thoughts and Depression After Being Ghosted

Been there for sure… it took me months to get over him and i hated people telling me “ you’ll get over it “ cause i strongly felt like i was never gonna get over it. I still feel like im not completely over it. The best thing i could do is cry so much and let it all out and then just do things that keep my mind off. Like games, reading, drawing and etc. its gonna hurt for a while but don’t punish yourself for something you have no control over ❤️

Ive been here. What i was missing was the realization that i am a whole person on my own. There is no other half i need to find. I hope you find happiness and secureness in yourself rather than laying in the comfort of abuse

You know what, this probably won't be very helpful in your current state of mind, but I'm gonna say it anyways. I lost 10 years of my life on this one guy. 10 years. The good ones too, my 20's. It wasn't worth it at all. I don't think he has given one thought about me. I wrote him a goodbye letter in September and felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders and I barely think of him anymore. Even when I do, I don't get as emotional. He wasn't worth it. All I can think of now is all the opportunities I missed out on because of him. Not just romantic ones, but family, friends, hobbies. I gave my heart and soul to that man and got nothing back. Don't turn out like me. You gotta let him go. Please don't turn out like me 😢

My mom always tells me “You’re the only person you have to spend the rest of your life with. Get yourself situated first, and if a person enters your life that compliments that, then that’s the cherry on top.” I recently went through a messy breakup too and my heart wanted to cling onto him so badly. But this isn’t an obstacle, it’s an opportunity! Make new memories, learn to love yourself more than he ever loved you. You’ll always be the most important person in your life ❤️

You sound young so I will say, you are the best person for you and it sounds like you need you right now. As the great RuPaul says, "if you can't love yourself then how the hell you gonna love anybody else?"

Hello, I’m not sure if this was a break up or unrequited, but I have been there myself. I dated a guy for almost a year, he proposed on Christmas even and broke up with me 2 days later and I was too depressed to function for months. I would text him ever day and check on his socials. It was very unhealthy. I got better by seeing a therapist, occupying my time with things to better myself (school, gym, reading, etc.). Eventually time helped and I got back into the dating pool. I found someone that I love dearly. I always feel like it will never match the love I felt for that guy, but I moved forward. I know this probably doesn’t help that much, but at the very least, know you’re not alone.
