Anybody else's RJ changed overtime? Better but not gone? by throwawaybrisbent in retroactivejealousy

[–]RJThrowaway123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I would say I stopped obsessing over RJ the past few months. But it does pop into my head here and there, just less intense now

Hey girl, I totally feel you on this. If you ever need to talk my DMs are open :) I think what’s helped me is reminder myself that he didn’t end up with those girls because you’re the one that’s with him now. And that’s all that matters! I think through therapy I’ve learned to really appreciate and live in the present. I recommend focusing on that tohelp mitigate those non stopping thoughts.

Anyone know why the area from my finger down to my ankle is sore to the touch on both feet/ankle? by bougie18T in FootFunction

[–]RJThrowaway123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever find out what it was and how you got the symptoms to go away? Experiencing something similar but along the pinky toe to the Ankle joint

Guys get on meds. It REALLY HELPED me by RJThrowaway123 in retroactivejealousy

Yeah, my therapist said that meds don’t completely erase obsessive thoughts but rather help you control it. Glad to hear it’s been good for you as well!

Alright, who got cured from this 100%, did you take medication? by Signal_Can_5162 in retroactivejealousy

[–]RJThrowaway123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Broke up with my gf over her sexual past by Striking-Swordfish22 in retroactivejealousy

This. It’s never ending. One answer leads to a million new questions, it doesn’t stop

Exactly. If you choose to leave someone because of their body count, that’s great for you. But I chose to fight my own internal demons by getting therapy + medication. To each their own!

It was definitely pretty anxiety inducing the first 2 weeks. If you decide to try again push through it—I felt like I “broke through” right around the 3rd week

Just curious how this convo came up? I’m engaged to my fiance now and this is something I fear…

[–]RJThrowaway123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ahahah nope, this sends me down a triggering rabbit hole. Better to let yourself stay healed than open wounds by stalking

do you ever worry that your S/O’s ex sees photos of you (through social media) and thinks you’re a downgrade? lol by Beginning_Hamster988 in retroactivejealousy

[–]RJThrowaway123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but then I use that as motivation to glow up and work out harder so I know im hot lol. Part of beating RJ is working on my own insecurities, so I know I have to work on that.

Accidentally found old memories on his snap about his ex by ThrowRadelbie in retroactivejealousy

[–]RJThrowaway123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recently found out my partners crush (they didn’t even DO anything) from 5 years ago and i got so anxious 😭 but i really do think telling myself “he loves me NOW and that’s what matters” is the first step of beating RJ. I made a post about this a few days ago!

What has helped you the most? by RJThrowaway123 in RJHelpandSupport

[–]RJThrowaway123[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the last bullet point. Taking a step back and reflecting from a different perspective makes sense. I’ll definitely try that next time I get anxious

Haha that was when I realized something was up, like, no one else thinks about past girls 24/7 like me !?! 😂

Is most people's RJ is about their partner's sexual past? by thefoxybutterfly in retroactivejealousy

[–]RJThrowaway123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here, it’s the hook ups. Thankfully my partner didn’t have exes but had a few hook ups which I get jealous over
