Derailed

It seems like I've gotten lost along my path with all my recent stress. I can't sleep well. I've been losing focus on my studies. It seems like I can't function at a really critical time. I feel so lonely without my girlfriend. It's hard to not have someone to talk to so much as her.

Thank you for replying. It's nice to know I'm not alone. Writing here helps.

Yes I feel this forum is great to vent with so many people goimg thru the same as us. This is my second day on here and so far I feel very welcomed. Wishing you the best. If you ever need to vent im also here.

[Hidden in reply to Ml601]

You can always write me too. God knows I've seen and done a lot on my time in this earth. If nothing else of help, I'll always have that unique perspective to offer, if you ever just need to look at things differently.

I completely understand what you’re going through. Are you taking any medications? Have you started looking for additional support sources, or have any besides your girlfriend?

I take Zoloft right now. I've been trying to reach out to friends I'm comfortable with but it's been hard talking to anyone at all when no one's available. I talk to friends here and there when I can but it's just hard not to miss her cause we used to talk a lot.

Its1994, I know the forum can't be a substitute but know that we are only a message away and that we care.

I really appreciate your support. It's helping me out a lot.

Ooo I feel you. I just finished getting over a breakup and it does suck but it gets better. So many things used to remind me of him and I would get so distracted just thinking but hanging out w friends more or starting a hobby really helps!

[Hidden in reply to brittnietap]

I've been trying to do that. It just seems too difficult mustering motivation on my own. I can't stop thinking of her in circles. I'm laying in bed alone in tears again and I'm just tired of being so lonely. It feels like I have to constantly distract myself. Thank you for your reply though.

[brittnietap in reply to Hidden]

I think most of it has to come from urself cuz my friends tried helping me but no matter what they said it didn't help. It's okay if it's hard or if u wanna break down. Don't feel bad for it! I would accept when I was sad and literally cry it out until I realized I had to stop and move on for myself

[Hidden in reply to brittnietap]

You actually remind me a little bit of my girlfriend. She would probably have said something similar in support. It's hard being without her encouragement, especially when I'm having such a hard time with everything else. Just feels like a gaping wound in the pit of my stomach where I used to feel a warmth every time I thought of her. I just wish this didn't happen at such an important time in my life. I feel so helpless. Even my immune system is just giving up, I can't get over this cold.

[brittnietap in reply to Hidden]

Oh sorry, didn't mean to remind u of her more. Well if u ever need encouragement I and other people on here can probably help. U can always private message if u wanna talk about ur hard times or just for advice to move on

[Hidden in reply to brittnietap]

Don't be sorry please I'm glad you talked to me. I'll message you for more advice and when I'm in a better place to give some, you can always message me too. But either way I'll always listen too. Thank you for your support
