Stuck in a rut

[dgs16]

After enduring some of the most difficult months of my life, my aunt committing suicide, my girlfriend of over a year breaking up with me, and trying to graduate college all at the same time, I feel like I almost have ptsd from those last few months and just can’t move on. On the surface everything is fine, I got my degree in 4 years and thanks to my parents I have zero debt. But everyday feels like the same fucking battle: what am I doing with my life, where am I going, does my ex still have feelings for me like she says she does, did she ever truly love me in the first place, if she could move on so easily what did it all mean to her. Just the same shit in my head day after day, and even though some days I feel like I’ve overcome it and things are back on track, I have days like today where I feel as hopeless and lost as I always did. Not sure where I’m going with this, I just know this community has been extremely helpful in the past, so why not reach out. Hope everyone is having a great day!

I’m sorry you’re having these problems. All of those events happening in a few months time would probably overwhelm anyone. You don’t mention what treatment you are receiving if any. What are you doing to help yourself?

When faced with my own depression and anxiety and PTSD I sought professional help because of the debilitating nature of my symptoms. Without the self help tools I already possessed, the guidance of a therapist and meds from a psychiatrist, I would still be in bed in a fetal position.

You are a college grad now with no student debt. Did you get a job? Are you looking?

If your ex broke up with you but is professing she still has feelings for you, what does that mean? If she wants to get back together that’s one thing, but if she’s just stringing you along, move on.

Where there’s life, there’s hope. Believe you’ll get better even if you can’t see it now. You’re not hopeless and lost. Even if you feel like that.

I hope you’ll feel better soon.

I’m sorry for all that you have gone through. I’m here if you ever need to talk.

Are you wondering if your ex wants to get back with you? Would you like to get back with her? Maybe you should ask her. So many people think that the grass is greener on the other side only to find it's not. I can see you've had some good advice

This is certainly a lot to go through at one time, I feel for you. I can relate to the mental torture you're going through with a situation I'm dealing currently myself. A lot of people will probably just say this is life but you've got some goods things going for you. Congrats on graduating. Probably doesn't feel like it but there will be good things in your future if you keep persevering. Try and glean how these situations have affected you and learn more about yourself.
