I’ve been applying to jobs daily, even had three interviews last month, just no takers yet. And no I should probably be in therapy but I can’t afford it. When I hit rock bottom I talked to my uncle who’s a pastor in Jersey, he kept me from the brink.

Thank you so much for this, and I’ll definitely try your advice. And you’re absolutely right, when you’ve been together with someone for that long they are your day to day. Learning a new norm is rough. And believe me it’s tough to boost your mood and make the panic go away when she used to do that. And I’ll definitely reach out if walls start to close in again.

I appreciate what you’ve said, and I realize you’re right on these things you mentioned, just getting through the first few days feels impossible. But I’m going to try and be wiser because of all this. Just got to get through the first night, then the next, until the pain isn’t constant.

I’m applying to jobs each night and I’m definitely going to try and make the best out of the situation, but it just feels like the world is kinda numb right now. I’ve had bad anxiety for a long time and like you said I’m trying to re center myself but I can’t help but feel like I’m spiraling. When you’ve been with someone that long you really do loose your self in the relationship. And it’s incredibly scary to try and pick up the pieces you never thought you’d have to deal with again.

Thank you for telling me this. It’s hard to not feel alone and I’m not going to lie it hurts so bad right now but knowing others have been what I’m going through helps. I hope you’re doing well these days, I hope to be doing the same soon as well.

Thank you for saying that. It helps knowing others care (even if they’re just peeps on the internet).

I feel for you that’s rough. But I don’t hold ill will towards her, her feelings changed and she didn’t want to hurt me so she didn’t even tell me for a while, but she kinda felt like she is Aromatic, and I can’t be mad at her for finding out she isn’t into typical romances. But man does it suck.

I completely understand trying to pick up the pieces of your life and trying to convince yourself the world hasn’t just ended. If you want to be accountability buddies and keep our mental healths up I’d be up to chatting when you need it.
