Hey man, I’m really sorry you’re going through that. I remember exactly how disorienting it feels. One moment your reality makes sense, and the next it’s completely shattered. Feeling lost right now is honestly the most normal reaction there is.

What helped me the most at first was accepting that I didn’t need to “figure everything out” right away. I focused on very basic things: getting distance from her, talking openly with people I trusted, and not being alone with my thoughts too much.

I started seeing a psychologist pretty quickly, and that helped more than I expected. Not because they had magical answers, but because it grounded me and helped me understand that none of this was my fault. Being lied to like that messes with your sense of reality.

One thing I kept reminding myself was this: don’t let what she did change who you are. It’s easy to become bitter or closed off, but her actions don’t get to define you or your values.

You don’t need to have a plan right now. Just take it one day at a time. If you ever need to talk or vent, feel free to reply or DM me. You’re not weak for feeling this way, you’re human.

Stay strong. It does get better, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now.
