    @anita

    Ok lets take that as a fact, but how can we be so good with each other for like 10 months, and suddenly i go completely empty within a night? That shouldnt be normal. I was very excited and curious to meet her and get together, its not like i married her in my mind, so it doesnt make sense.
    Yes we were about to establish it. Then what gotten over me? Fear of closeness?

    Well u start somewhere, then things progress, but i didnt reject her after meeting her, it happened way before.. thats my point.

    Oh yes she did that a lot, she complained to me about my father and my only reasonable answer was for them to break up..

    Yes she hit me, i hit back/etc.


    @Alessa

    Hello

    Relationships with other women were pretty toxic except one, my longest (which was 9 months but got bad in the last 1.5 months), all and all i was in 3 relationships, rest of them were 3-4 months and the girls were very aloof/toxic but that kept me hooked. Ive never gone beyond infatuation phase, to a stable love..

    All of our online hours were perfect for, thats why i am so sad now. Looked like it was gonna be a nice relationship actually. She didnt act exactly the same because after what happened to me she got distant/avoidant triggered.

    Yes, honesty is my #1 trait.

    I know, but for some reason i still have hope inside..

    Hey anita, let me answer

    Yes so they say, but i cant feel consciously all those things..

    My shutdown happened a month before i took the trip, it wasnt close to the actual trip, and we hadnt booked tickets anyway.

    Indeed but why would that play a big role? There are other nevermets out there that worked well for them.
    Yes she wasn’t comfortable and i felt rejected at first, but then she explained why she was so closed-off/guarded (her past experiences)

    I know we didnt have real-life honeymoon phase, maybe all the chemicals were never released..So you are suggesting that if we meet more, it could become better?

    But i already wrote why i consider her a great girl some posts back, its not that i blindly say that because of how i was feeling (dopamine). I can see positives and negatives.

    Did i ever feel that way with the girl, u mean? Yeah, almost every day my mind says “just break up and be done with it”. But it doesnt make sense because i think if i didnt actually want her, the thought of leaving her would be a relief for me and i would move on with my life, not being in shutdown/anhedonia over that. Also what is emotional incest?

    Hmm, intense, rageful and unfair to me because she was acting too much over little things.

    Yes i think so too.

    But when i thought of ending it i felt really bad..I feel like i will blow my chances of building something with a great person because of my current state/crisis. How can i tell for sure?

    Hey anita

    I dont think its gonna be possible, if we stay apart for that long, we might aswell end it.

    I wanna try and have this routine and trying to heal my attachment with her besides me if that’s possible. Do u think my mother appearing in my dream had a play in me feeling like this when i woke up?

    I meant it in the way it happened in the beginning, like my guts reject her, the avoidance feeling. I was thinking of ending things yesterday because she is not having a great time with me either, but none of us could do it..

    Ok i think i see what u mean, then yes its very likely that i do that. But yesterday something strange happened.

    We talked and argued (again), mostly about things that we dont say to each other, and for the first time i didnt compromise and was my fully authentic self, no holding back, just spitting facts and my opinions/feelings, without fearing abandonment. After we were done, i felt euphoric, like a sense that everything clicked and i was ready for anything (probably dopamine)
    I had a dream with my mother (not a bad one, just her in the dreams) and when i woke up i felt like shit, almost like the days before the shutdown, weird stomach feeling and the thought that “i dont want this girl”.

    Yes exactly..

    Affected in what ways ? Do u have any examples?

    So i guess i correlated her to my mother and that made me shutdown?

    I thought about that yesterday and it kinda resonated..But i cant comprehend how i am correlating my mother with her.. feels weird.

    I was always wary of not upsetting her, getting her in the bad mood, walking on eggshells/etc. I think thats how i felt with the girl lately..

    What do u mean?

    I cant feel like i can express anything through art, never been able to.

    Did u feel like u could express things on art at first?

    I mean that it was me that caused all this. I wish it was her leaving, would have been easier to deal with.

    Hey anita

    Yeah must have been difficult, like being a prisoner.

    I have no inspiration for poems or art, never had, always been bad at those sadly.

    I think my problem is solely based on this obsession i have over not feeling anything, so its very hard to reach feelings..

    Its gonna be my own self that breaks me sadly

    I meant how did u experience it in general but yes, i didnt experience anything like that lately, only in the beginning and some random days months ago, but i was mostly lost in thoughts.

    Thats exactly how i feel now, all my good feelings are gone..only sorrow, regret, despair and sometimes anger.

    Yeah, i give them too much significance and power.

    That seems logical but still doesn’t make any sense in my mind (probably because i havent touched it yet and i find myself very self-sufficient)

    Yes we do, im guilty of that in my life.

    Alright, enjoy your offline time, thank you very much anita, goodnight 🙂 (hopefully way less soon)

    I think its a double edge sword with me because i am so aware and have consumed so much information around trauma, rocd, adhd and stuff that messed up my brain really good, but i guess with time it will all fall in place..

    My home was definitely not the safest, with fighting and arguing looming over every hour.

    I wonder, how did u experience the dissociation after, in therapy? (dont answer this if u dont feel like it)

    Yeah that’s what i hear we have to do, but it seems like voodoo-magic to me haha

    Your words are very empowering, im glad you are in a better place finally, i hope i get there too someday 🙂

    Yes LDR is definitely a challenge. From what im reading though, i might also have ADHD (which i suspected years prior but never bothered to check) so it explains the burnout and the emotional numbness.

    No its not disinterest, i just cant find the roots alone. I started today with a new therapist which specializes in IFS and i hope she can help me.

    How long did it take you to see improvement, anita?
