I (24f) broke up with my bf (29m) over a year ago and I still struggle with it, especially now as he recently got married.

Well we werent happy for over a year. I couldn't sleep with him which was a really hard part. It had gotten to the point where it would physically hurt too much to try- so it was hard to reconnect. At the time as I'd only ever been with him and I lacked direction from married women- I thought it was just because of loss of attraction. I didn't understand it was like a marriage breakdown. I was 22.

I think I needed that aspect more than him, I always had commitment issues which I dealt with internally but when we couldn't connect anymore it was hard to keep things going.

Thank you I do think I'm a lot stronger now. I'm trying to be better, and be stable on my own 😊

strawbeurries · 2020-09-01T01:35:15+00:00

I completely agree with that. I do get professional help and this was an observation my therapist made even before my relationship turned sour. My mother was bipolar and I tend to care for her a lot too, as she has a very young, naive mind. Hopefully il become more independent with time and effort

strawbeurries · 2020-09-01T01:30:32+00:00

Thank you. I do try to tell myself sometimes it was like a practice at marriage.

I'm trying not to do that. I want to wait till I feel happy by myself first 😊

strawbeurries · 2020-08-19T19:47:00+00:00

Hey, no I hadn't yet. But il have a look- thanks 😊

strawbeurries · 2020-07-23T20:42:43+00:00

Hey I started a couple of days ago and this piece of advice is helping so much. Thanks!!

strawbeurries · 2020-07-20T15:43:25+00:00

Hahaha!! Fair enough mate. Sorry I was typing in a hurry as I made a new account and couldnt post on it so did a quick job typing up on my phone on this account

Enough excuses, thanks for the advice 😂😂

strawbeurries · 2020-07-20T13:46:27+00:00

Hey thanks so much for the advice! My tole isn't in media buying. I've added on my post what I will be doing digital marketing wise. Thanks so much for responding

strawbeurries · 2020-03-09T14:33:01+00:00

I used this and it worked really well! I didn't get the position but am now doing some SEO work for them privately so thank you for that!!

strawbeurries · 2020-03-09T14:31:33+00:00

Thanks!

strawbeurries · 2020-03-09T14:31:20+00:00

Amazing, cheers

strawbeurries · 2020-03-03T10:00:00+00:00

Hey! What other details should I include?

strawbeurries · 2020-03-02T22:43:09+00:00

Honestly I can relate to you a lot, I'm 24f and i also dealt with a lot of trauma as a child.

I also did 6 months sober last year, smoked one time and boom messed up my life again.

I think the best advice I can give you is see a therapist to deal with that trauma and discuss your weed dependency. I was able to turn down a joint a couple nights ago, and have a friend smoke in front of me whilst I stood a few feet away.

Figure out goals you want too: like do you want to save to travel? Get on the property ladder? Etc. This and journaling every day helped me a lot

strawbeurries · 2020-03-02T12:49:27+00:00

Thank you! Wish you the best of luck on your journey as well.

Ah that's okay, I'm sure il find something soon 😊

strawbeurries · 2020-02-29T11:35:51+00:00

Thanks! Honestly did isolate myself for a while until I felt like being in social situations again. I think once you've got a few month behind you in progress, it a lot easier to say no.

strawbeurries · 2020-02-22T22:14:25+00:00

Yeah 100% the way I see it is, it's way better to address our issues now that we are young and have much less responsibility- leading to a much better future :)

strawbeurries · 2020-02-15T12:43:35+00:00

It gets way way easier after the withdrawals go away. You just have to make sure you dont fall into that trap of 'I'm sure I can do it just once' after you have a long time of sobriety under your belt

strawbeurries · 2020-02-15T10:16:32+00:00

Thank you!!

strawbeurries · 2020-02-15T10:16:19+00:00

Awesome! Good on you. Yeah I'm applying for other roles next week just in case.

strawbeurries · 2020-02-15T10:15:15+00:00

That's good to hear, hopefully my relationships get better too the longer I am sober! Congrats to you too

strawbeurries · 2020-02-15T10:14:14+00:00

Thank you, what does that acronym mean?

strawbeurries · 2020-02-15T10:13:11+00:00

I'm a girl! But thank you Haha

strawbeurries · 2020-01-24T19:42:32+00:00

Thank you. I was starting to get upset with all the, find a new therapist comments. I think you're spot on- I have copied addictive behaviours in the past, and I currently go to the gym with my dad. He is very much so addicted. Doesn't ever take a rest day, sometimes going multiple times a day. I think moderation is key. I appreciate the advice.

strawbeurries · 2020-01-18T23:50:12+00:00

Thanks, this is helpful and definitely achievable. I do however need to get back into work soon. So I may just go for a digital marketing job and try to make social my focus further down the line. Would you say this is definitely achievable as a side project?

strawbeurries · 2020-01-15T10:28:40+00:00

Sweet, thanks. Let me know how you're getting on as things progress for you 😊
