Please convince me not to message my old friends and ex, I'm so close to having a panic attack and I feel like if I don't message them or look at their posts I won't know what's going on. Trust me I don't want to look at their posts or message them, I've been dealing with urges like this for a while but I can't handle them right now.

      Please don't do it, if you've cut these people out of your life, then I'm sure it was for good reason. Trust yourself and that you're going to be okay! I'm proud of you for trying to pursue healthier coping skills, and you should be proud too :)

        @Hoppie thank you for this. I need to believe in myself more. Even though I feel guilty for cutting my old friends off, I feel a lot better without these people in my life.

      Hello friend, I’m so sorry you’re going through these feelings. I completely understand how you’re feeling and it’s hard to work through these. If you can, keep your hands and mind busy with anything else. I like to use coloring apps and listen to comfort show on Netflix or YouTube. Something with talking and background music. It’s hard to fight the urge and it’s hard to not know everything they’re doing. But you’re strong and you can do this. You have community here.

        @GhostieShark Thank you so much. I tried to keep myself busy doing college work but I also had youtube documentaries playing in the background. I forgot how multitasking sometimes is really helpful.

      Don't do it!!! Be strong for future you! It will only lead to an even lower point!

        @MrsKoolWhip Thank you ❤️ I always forget how low I can steep with these urges. Luckily I feel a bit better now

      Its not worth it. It's going to make you feel worse. I get the FOMO but it isn't worth it

        @SnowGhost thank you and you're right. I've gone so long not contacting these people and I don't want to give into the urges.
