My ex broke up with me a couple of months ago. He immediately went back to dating which makes me feel I am not worthy. This has made my depression and anxiety worse.

I'm sorry you are going through this, Jackierivas2011. Contrary to what you are thinking, YOU ARE WORTHY of much more. Learn to love yourself. Work on you.

Blessings to you, friend.

You are right... I just don’t know how to love myself or where to start

in reply to Jackierivas2011

Hang in there. On top of depression and anxiety, we sometimes have self esteem issues too. I'm going to share some of the things I've learned.

Jackie,

That guy is not in your life anymore and it's most likely a blessing in disguise. I know you can't even begin to see that but it is good. Now, is the time to focus on yourself. You aren't making sure that he is satisfied anymore. It's all about you. Be kind to yourself rather than beat yourself up. Stop worrying about what he is doing and who he is doing it with. That's their problem. Do things that you enjoy. Do things you didn't have time for because you were dealing with someone who was unworthy. Take care of your body by eating well, exercising, have a manicure, a new hairdo. Take care of your mind by practicing mindfulness. DO NOT dwell on what was. Create a special playlist of uplifting, positive songs. I always go to music when I'm depressed and anxious. What type of music do you like? I could probably help you out. Also, I go to my favorite scents and let them fill my room. Talk to people you are close to. Read Steve Harvey's book called Act like a Lady, Think Like a Man (my latest post). I read it several years ago.

You will find someone better. In the meantime, work on you. We are always here to support you. We got you!

Blessings, peace , and love.

Wow 😮 you are right! I was so focus on making sure he was ok that I forgot about me. I love listening to Natalie Grant’s music or Steven furtick sermons

Do you like Joyce Myers? Her sermons are on Youtube.

I'm going to check him out!

Some people cannot be alone and that sounds like him. It probably had nothing to do with you. Try a few independent activities such as knitting, exercising etc, something you may enjoy. A feeling of self accomplishment seems to lift my depression. The right man will enter your life when the time is right. I’ll be thinking of you and here if you want to talk.😊

You are worthy of love from a person who will value you for who you are, and your going to go through those feelings of loss and grief...don't beat yourself up and blame yourself. It takes two to make a relationship work....and if one is not committed...it's not a relationship. It's time for you to take care of you...get something you like....the wounds are going to heal in your heart....this person is not worth your time...you have bigger and better things coming in your life...go through the open door and stop looking back at the door that's closed, you cannot change that...you will be happy again....you just have to go through this process....no easy fix ....but you can do it.

I hardly see it that way but you are completely right.. thank you for your kind words. God bless you

Him moving on will have nothing to do with you x it’ll be because of himself and how he feels . Some people have to always be with someone and cannot stay single x thats his own issues nothing to do with you so don’t worry hun xx 😘
