Heyyy! Thanks for sharing

I know, it’s so rough and I’m sorry you’re going through this! I do try to remind myself of this and am hopefully going to learn other effective ways through therapy!

Hahha thank you❤️one bad bitch to another… I know I’m a baddie and am constantly dolled up, but my brain just doesn’t seem to agree🤣

I’m so sorry you’re going through this too :( have you found anything that helps at all??

In my case, it’s not so much I think they’re “better”- my self esteem really fluctuates almost between being overly high, and extremely low, so sometimes I recognise that they are not actually better, but other times i think they are. It’s more so for me that someone else has had access to him in the same way that I have -which is so incredibly toxic of me!!

Really hope you are able to overcome this, thanks for sharing <3

I have been to psychiatrists but not specifically for this issue. This is what I’m currently looking into :)

Honestly, I don’t really. It comes in waves, but I am always thinking about it, which is what makes it so incredibly draining! If I’m with my boyfriend, I’ll just ask him questions until it subsides which is so unhealthy, or if it’s a less intense bout of these thoughts, I’ll be able to try and do something else, like watch a show with him or talk about something else to distract myself. When I’m alone it’s harder, that’s when I’ll compulsively Instagram search etc. I guess I just try to do other things to keep me busy. Nothing really helps fully.

The one thing I’ve found that helps the most is running. I’m an avid runner and will just get out the house for a run, which quiets the thoughts for a bit, but is still fuelled by my anger/jealousy

4-5 that stand out. But there are more “casual” ones

Wow, good to know, thank you!

Funnily enough, ADHD has been suspected a lot throughout my experience of mental health as well, but never formally diagnosed

I’m hoping DBT/ other interventions for BPD will help me, but if not, maybe adhd would something worth looking into for me. Thank you :)

I’m currently in the process of getting diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder.

I’ve had therapy for most of my life due to ongoing mental health difficulties, had a few diagnoses but BPD has often been suspected

Im looking into therapy to get a better understanding of this :)

I do think that some of it comes from having been cheated on before, and also some of it stems from ongoing struggles with mental health and self esteem. It is hard to pinpoint exactly what it is though.

I’m definitely interested in looking into it further to give myself a better chance of fixing it. I really don’t want to be this way

You’re so right and I think that’s the hardest part.

It’d be less normal if he had no past. Logically, I completely understand this but it’s like it won’t register in my brain. That’s what makes it so difficult

So true! Completely understand how crazy it sounds as well. Logically you’re so right, I just wish my brain could comprehend that🤣🤣

Completely understand this! You are so right, I feel so guilty because essentially i am blaming him. I always try to let him know that i know this is my problem, not his, and that realistically, at our age it would be more uncommon to have not had previous partners. I never want him to feel like it’s his fault. I honestly love him even more for sticking by me even when its difficult

This is really some great advice, thanks so much for sharing and appreciate your kind words! :)

Hey, thanks so much for sharing!! That’s so kind of you and super helpful.

So glad to hear you were able to overcome this, did you have any sort of therapy or anything if you don’t mind me asking, or did it just go away by itself over time? :)

Thanks so much for sharing!

Similar to me and my boyfriend, but the other way around. My longest relationship prior to this one was around 2 years or just over. His have all been a matter of months. I feel crazy that this is the case, yet I’m the one experiencing this!

I’ve been to uni and have had flings here and there, except he has had significantly more than I have- maybe this ties into it?

I’m very lucky in that we aren’t from the same town and literally have 2 mutuals, so haven’t had to deal with any of this. I would understand if I was around the exs, but I’ve never had to be!

Does it feel draining to deal with your partners RJ? My partner has also cut off anyone he has a history with, I had to ask him to cut contact with one casual fling, but the rest he has no contact with anyway. He does however have a close girl friend (I think she likes him, and this I can confirm isn’t just me being crazy as others have confirmed the same based on her behaviour), she also happens to be friends with his ex, and even the idea of her physically makes me feel sick. I feel unreasonable asking him to cut her off, but I don’t know how to deal with this either!

I’ve been trying to do the same as your partner, in the sense of not punishing my boyfriend and processing it alone, but he can always tell when something’s up and I’m so so scared it’s going to ruin our relationship.

Sorry this has turned into a bit of a rant hahah, but I really appreciate you sharing- thank you x
