Hi Mark,

I’m 19. Yes it’s the same ex. I don’t think I really processed the break up when it happened he was arrested and I assumed I shouldn’t miss him because he was abusive and I didn’t until I realized my friends were not very supportive and I felt lonely. My therapist tells me that’s really common and understandable since there were good times and bad times and I can make that my safe place to talk about those thoughts because she knows my friends were not there for me and my family doesn’t understand. I have a hard time opening up even in therapy but she just advised me to see a psychologist or psychiatrist. She didn’t realize how depressed I’ve been because I just put on a mask and have just started to open up more.
