I need to know there's love for me

3 months ago I lost my job and my girlfriend decided to break up with me on the same day.

I have been struggling ever since. I have been trying to save myself from this black hole of hopelessness, and at times I do feel better. But lately, I've been feeling more and more stressed, I can't fall a sleep, I'm tired all the time and that itself created even more stress, so it even harder to sleep. I can't watch myself going down like this, so I've decided to reach out.

All my life I've never experienced much love from family, I guess that created an emptiness. I always try to do things, solve problems on my own. But now I realized that doesn't always work, I think the lack of love from early ages have created a lot of issues for me, especially in relationships. I've always dreamed of having a different family. I think putting these issues into relationships, and onto someone I love can be unfair to them. Now I realize what I need is to find a general loving environment, know that I will be loved no matter what, so I can rebuild my confidence and strength to become a better me.

Thank you for reading.

I’m sorry for your pain. You will meet someone. The person you’re meant to be with will gravitate to you. You’ll find a great job. Keep a journal to write your feelings and at least 2 good affirmations about yourself a day. We bring our childhood with us wherever we go and it’ll follow us if we aren’t able to accept it and learn from it or let it go. but your past experience doesn’t have to be your future. Don’t feel regret about sharing what you needed to share with your gf. And give yourself grace and forgiveness- you’re going through a lot so remember to be kind to yourself. Continue to post and let us know how you’re doing. If there’s counseling available it might help or there’s a meetup app- maybe look at having a friend group to share a common hobby/ interest or to meet publicly during the day to walk as a group. I really wish you the best and good Things to come!
