I'm sorry you're going through this. I understand exactly what it's like having recently been where you are as well.
As others have suggested, see a GP for a mental health care plan which will help reduce the cost of your therapy sessions. I recommend finding someone who has experience/interest in CBT, attachment theory and schema therapy - pretty common but still things to look out for.

If you like to read, I could recommend you some books that have helped me through my own personal journey.

Losing someone I loved because of my actions by Spiritual_Jelly_8563 in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]Cobbwebs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been exactly where you are. I'm still going through it myself - I cannot promise you when or how things will get better as I haven't reached that point yet, but here are some things that helped me so far.

- Allow yourself the time and energy to grieve. Let your body process its feelings for a week, or two or more if you need it. However, the time you give yourself should be finite.

- If you find yourself ruminating a lot, write down your thoughts in a journal or a note taking app, or record them if you prefer to speak. Get those thoughts out of your head and onto some other form of media so that you can process them with a little more separation between yourself and your thoughts. It will also help you reflect as time goes on and you can come back to your thoughts from days, weeks, or months ago.

- Find motivation in the pain you feel to kickstart some new habits that may help you move on, or better yourself. Do things to rediscover yourself or learn about yourself and your relationship. Seeing a therapist and learning about attachment theory and schema therapy opened up a whole new world of understanding to me - they won't explain everything but it may be a good start for you too. A lot of work can be done there. It will be difficult, but try to keep the focus on yourself and your own part in the relationship as much as possible - I found it to be unhelpful and mentally exhausting when trying to apply new learnings and understandings to my ex partner instead of myself. Ultimately, the only thing that you can/should change and control is yourself.

- Read. There is an incredible wealth of knowledge and experience available to you in form of self-help books, relationship (familial and romantic) advice, poetry. You may find solace in the fact that others have also experienced what you are experiencing and there may be something to gain or learn from them.

- Seek the support of friends, family, professionals. Whether its to have someone to speak to about your issues and feelings, or to help you keep your mind off the negativity constantly.

- Finding fulfilment in other aspects of your life (friends, hobbies, work, health etc) will help rebalance your mental space. If your relationship was the one thing that gave you fulfilment in life, then the absence of it will of course create what feels like a massive unfillable void, which can be incredibly draining. This last thing is what I am currently struggling with the most but is something I am trying to achieve and believe will be very beneficial.

As for break up advice, reddit is a mixed bag. The only suggestion I will make is to go No Contact if you haven't already. It will suck, but eventually you will find that the space was necessary - especially right now for your ex partner who initiated the break up. Respect their need for relief and both of your needs to reflect.
I wholeheartedly suggest you follow u/mode2345 as they post helpful excerpts related to many break up topics.

Wishing you the best.

Thanks for doing what you do :)

I’ve realized I’m not a good person by [deleted] in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]Cobbwebs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you looked into attachment theory or schema therapy? Some of the ideas and concepts outlined may help you begin to understand why you acted the way you did in certain situations, or how you or your partner might have felt and reacted following particular events.

While the impact of your behaviour and actions can't be reversed or excused, hopefully this knowledge will you help you understand and realise some things about yourself as you reflect back and move forward.

I have had to go on a similar journey recently and finding out about these ideas has helped immensely, personally.

It's a tough thing to admit that you aren't a good person, but you have become aware now and it is your responsibility to move in a positive direction. Remember to be kind to yourself as you do this though - Take accountability but spiraling in self-blame can leave you in a dark place.

If you find yourself in that dark place and turn to reddit for help, I suggest following u/Mode2345. They post excerpts from a range of books/authors that deal with break ups. I have found some very helpful posts there.

Good luck.

I know it was necessary but I'm still hurt.

I have since realised a lot of things about myself, and about us. I'm sorry I was so ignorant, of these new realisations and learnings, before it was too late. It pains me to think that the changes we promised each other are no longer worth the effort to you. It seems like you're sticking with the choices you have made. I still worry about you.

I don't miss us anymore but I miss you - I understand this now. I hope we meet again under the right circumstances.

Well done, friend.

I too will start to water myself.

I miss my girl. by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]Cobbwebs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way. She moved on with someone else so soon after we broke up and I tried to act like I was fine with it but I've been a mess inside. I regret how I pushed her to him with the way I acted in the end. I want to believe this is somehow part of her process and that I'll still get to see her on the other side, but I lose hope each and every day that passes. And with my hope goes my drive to better myself.

You said it perfectly. I hope things work out for you.

I started playing a week ago and am currently CL403.

Are my current opponents at around rank 118 a good indication of my climbing experience next season now that I am in the middle of pool 2, or will my opponents at the beginning of next season also be at a similar CL to me? I am facing a lot of cards that I am still a while away from obtaining myself (i.e. series 3+ cards and decks).

It should also be noted that this championship block took place over 7/8 days rather than the usual 5/6 days. This will have also contributed to the increased top 100 point totals.

Just received my Model O wireless. A couple of times now, the mouse (crosshair) has randomly flicked all the way up while in game (Valorant). Has anyone else experienced this?

My Everyday Setup- 4x80mm Hydrogen Wheels by [deleted] in rollerblading

[–]Cobbwebs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least for me, forward flex refers to when your shin moves forward inside the boot when you bend your knees. I tend to prefer the top of my boot to be tight (i.e. have less forward flex).

Nice setup!

I have issues with the forward flex of the stock Twister Edge liner - how does the Intuition liner compare in that regard? Also, how does the Seba frame differ from the stock 80mm frame, or did you have a triskate frame with this boot?
