I don’t know what to do.

I recently broke up with my boyfriend back in June of this year and I have found it impossible to get over him and our relationship. I am having reoccurring dreams & nightmares about him and I’ve tried to seek out help from my family and friends, they all tell me to get over him and move on. I’ve fallen into a deep depression and anxious state of mind and I feel trapped in my own head. I don’t know what else to do. I can’t afford therapy, I can’t seek out help from anyone in my life. It’s getting more and more difficult by the day.

Hi, I am sorry to hear that your are having a tough time. I understand it can be difficult to part ways with your partner. Please feel free to message me if you need someone to talk too

I'm so sorry to hear that. I don't mean to pry, but it might help if we know the circumstances of the breakup, if that feels comfortable. I mention that because sometimes being stuck in these cycles can be more about the breakup itself than about not being together any more (ex: "we were both so angry at each other, and I wish I could've made amends," "I can't get over the feeling that I did something to hurt my ex," etc.). I also wonder about the nightmares. What are these about? If these keep happening, believe it or not, that could mean you might actually be suffering from some post-traumatic stress from this.

Thank you for sharing. I am sorry you are having such a tough time getting over your boyfriend. I know you said you can't afford therapy, but talking with a professional will help. There are some local churches who do counseling, you might want to check there first, they may have some suggestions. Also, if you feel connected to someone on this thread you might want to reach out to them via pm. I am happy to listen and chat if you would like. It is hard to make changes and let go on our own. What will help is ask yourself why you are having a hard time letting go and what can you do to move forward? Know things will get better with time, and having hope is how things start to improve. I will be praying for you. Reach out anytime, know you are not alone, we are here for you. Hugs and God Bless
