    I can’t afford a therapist anita. I can only do meditation and do some research on my own. I don’t know why I’m always haunted with my fears from the past. I’m anxious everytime I enter a relationship and still anxious after being in a relationship. I always feel these adrenaline rush in my stomach everytime I see something or think about something. Like if I browse on my newsfeed on facebook and see my ex commented on something I feel an adrenaline rush or if I see his fb acc.I don’t know if I was excited or scared. I always feel that way in all my exes. I don’t stay much on Facebook anymore because everytime I see them or see someone that looked like them or someone who looked like their current gfs. I feel anxious.Im tired of feeling this way. I wanna feel good and happy.

    Hey anita.. I was referring to my 2nd bf on this post. I met him on 2015 but only dated for 6 months. I went on a vacation that time to move on from my first bf,there I met him. I felt attraction right away with this guy and so I was able to move on from my first. I wasn’t so jealous and possessive like I was with my first bf cause I learned alot from my first relationship but from time to time I get scared but I was happy with him.My problem is now after we broke up. I get scared dating another guy. How do I addressed and processed that fear when I was a child? 🙁

    I agree with u anita and hi nicole,I really can’t afford a therapist but I’ve been going to a public mental health center.I’ve been on meds to help my depression and anxiety for more than a year now and currently I’m just taking minimal meds.Half tablet of 25mg of nozinan to help me sleep at night.My family and surrounding is okay.I’m getting better because I’m helping myself.Its just that being in a relationship triggers all the anxiety and fears I have.Right now I just wannna love being alone with myself,accepting it and embracing it.I really didn’t understand what they meant by I lost myself but now I get it.I kept running away from myself because I was too scared to be alone.I abandoned myself and kept clinging to relationships.That is why I have low self-esteem and low self-confidence because I didn’t love myself enough.I didn’t trust myself enough to be always there for me.That is why I’m always insecure and scared.I’m thankful tinybuddha exists and you guys.Thank you for listening and sharing your thoughts.I’m grateful. ^__^

    Dear Anita,
    I think you answered all my questions in any way.I always reread all your replies to understand everything and how I can apply it to myself.How to gain a better understanding of myself.About codependency and others.You are 100% correct about having that euphoria,that floating-in-a-cloud feeling I’m having in my brain everytime I think about a partner.It’s like I’m on drugs or something.I get into euphoric stage and force myself to go back to reality but it goes back to euphoria again.

    Hello Annie, I’m not offended with what u wrote don’t worry.I agree with it.

    Hello Adam, okay I’ll try it out but also I’ve been reading articles here in tinybuddha about people pleasing.

    Hello Anita, I guess I’ve always dreaded being alone without knowing it.I’ve always wondered what this fear is inside me.I didn’t know what it was that I’m afraid of. I still fear even when I’m in a relationship.How do I face and overcome that fear Anita? I’ve been doing meditation everyday and it’s helping me.I’ll connect with others just like you said and your right I should probably avoid connecting with men cause I have the tendency to fall inlove easily..falling inlove with the thought of being in a relationship.

    Well I do have a problem with being in a relationship. I always try to give what they want even if I don’t want it to just to keep them and make them happy.

    I grew up without a male figure.I’ve always been distant with my dad and he’s always far away and eventually he abandoned us.It’s always been me,my mom and my older sister.So I guess that’s why I feel safe with having a boyfriend because I have a strong man I can depend on which I didn’t get from my dad.I’m currently single and staying that way for awhile maybe two years so I can work on myself.I appreciate all your replies guys.I’m learning alot.

    Well, based on my experience just let him go. Someone who truly loves you wouldn’t treat you like that. Stop asking questions and wondering to yourself Why he wouldn’t change for you. Clearly he has problems and need to fix himself first. I understand you love him so much and care about him so much and that’s okay. Things just have to end. Just accept it. Be grateful for the happy memories u had together. Stop trying to understand and change things you cannot change. Just let it be and let it go. You’ll have peace of mind.Cut all communications With your ex. Just walk away. I know it hurts like hell but in time you will heal and be happy again.

    Thanks karlo it made me realize that the root of my problem is jealousy. I have always been jealous and possessive not only with my romantic relationships but with other people. I know it won’t be easy but I’ll get rid of it.

    I have abandonment issues. Since I was a kid and growing up. I can’t imagine the fear of being left behind over and over again. I think it’s my biggest fear in life. I was always the one being dumped, left behind without reason by the two guys I had relationships with. But I’m thankful and learned alot from it. Like the person from this forum said I am worthy enough. I don’t need a man to complete me. To believe and love myself first. And be there for myself when everyone is gone. I found strength. I didn’t think I can be this strong. After this, I’m just going to devote time for myself and take a break from any romantic relationships. I want to be in a happy and loving relationship with myself. And in God’s time when the right man comes along everything will fall into place. Thank u for the kind words, Bina. God bless ❤️

    Thank you, Will. I feel alot better now after talking to my family and some friends. Everytime I feel pain, I just let myself cry and when I don’t feel like crying anymore, I listen to songs that motivate me. I want to let myself feel the pain and give myself time to mourn. I think that’s healthier right? 🙂

    There’s nothing more painful than being abandoned by someone u love without saying anything. He didn’t care about what I would feel. I feel like crap. But I have to be strong for myself and family. I feel shattered.

    I messaged him last night. Next morning I woke up but didn’t get a reply. He obviously ignored my messages because he bothered to change his profile pic but didn’t reply. I got so hurt. I messaged him finally breaking up with him but still didn’t get anything back. I was crying all day. How could he do this to me. I treated him right. I respect him. I deserve to be treated right back. If you don’t want me anymore atleast have the decency to tell me straight up. I deserve it.

    I want to give us a chance to work this out by telling him what I feel. We already talked about getting married. He’s going to work abroad as a seaman next month or sooner so we won’t see each other for 9 months. I’m just worried if I don’t speak up this will continue and I won’t be able to handle the sadness and break-up with him because of his lack of communication and time with me. I really want this to work out.
