Hi hoping I can get any advice because right now it seems like I’m slipping through a black hole of no return. I’ve always been on and off depressed. I have OCD, social anxiety and at times low confidence. My girlfriend of nearly 4 years dumped me so she can be with a teenager she met under a year ago at the pub she used to work at. My ex and I were best friends for almost six years and now we don’t talk, she hasn’t even reached out to me to apologies how badly she treated me ever since she met this girl. This was four months ago and I know they say time is a healer but I feel like I’m getting worse and worse each day and feel like sometimes my life is not worth living. I’ve been keeping busy. Even social. It seems that nothing is enough to distract me from my heart ache and from feeling so low. I find it so hard to love myself so I don’t see how anyone else could possibly ever love me ever again. It feels like I’ll die alone. What’s worse is I came across a video posted on FB of my ex and this girl dancing in a club and my ex was huging her and was gazing at her the way she used to with me. She seemed so happy and she n love and I’m finding life so cruel when she’s the one that messed me over so badly. but yet she’s the one who is happy and I’m here So miserable not wanting to exist. It’s like this girl she is with has stolen everything from me, my life, my soulmate, my happiness. I feel so alone and unwanted I really don’t know what to do with myself. We had a life planned out together – travelling and moving in together and now she’ll be doing all of these with this girl. It’s so hard accepting everything, how she replaced me with this girl. My ex always said that I was the one and that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with and now it’s like I never existed at all. She’s probably saying all of these things to her now. What’s worse is that This girl she dumped me for is so much like her ex who used to lie and emotionally manipulate her but it took her years to see her true colours and it will take her years to see this teenage girl’s true colours. She’s given up what she called an almost perfect relationship for someone she has nothing in common with. Someone who won’t treat her as nice as I used to. I feel so used becaused I treated my ex with love and respect and I got nothing in return in the end. It it seems that she’s showing this girl love and respect when she doesn’t even deserve it. It sounds bitter of me to say it but this girl is a nasty piece of work and I’ve seen what she’s done to others but my ex is refusing to see the truth. Sorry for going on so long. long story short I hate what my life has become. I just want the world to stop. I wish I never existed.that I never met my ex. This is too hard for me to continue feeling. Please any help at all

You are in pain. When we are in great pain, life doesn’t seem worthwhile, of course.
Why live when in pain? Because tomorrow may be a better day. Because there is something valuable for you to learn, if you take that opportunity, from this painful experience. With that learning, your tomorrow is likely to be a much better day, your future life calm and pleasant, if you learn.
Get curious: what can you learn from this past relationship? Be as calm as you can be (our thinking is best when calm, maybe after a hot bath and soft music)- what can you learn about you and about people?

December 11, 2016 at 2:57 pm #122466JessicaParticipantMaybe its not all about you but them. It seems like it. It seems like she just wants to go from one to the other. I have social anxiety too (had selective mutism as a kid) & i dont know why no one helped. Im 22 still with heart beating fast EVERY SINGLE day- every hour. SA is much more than social conversations. Its stares, its overthinking, its being sometimes afraid… Ive fallen into deep depression. So-called professionals didnt target my problems. They just let me go on my own. I cant believe that. Ive no job or degree yet. School was Too overwhelming. I think I wasnt meant to be in society. I dont fit in anywhere. Im hypersensitive thats why. But maybe you should look for help.
December 12, 2016 at 11:08 am #122522AnonymousInactiveHi Anita and Violett22, thank you for your advice I really appreciate it. violett22 I’m sorry to hear that you’re also having a tough time. I’ve been having counselling session, i went twice previously. The second time was actually because of my ex, she convinced me I was going crazy when I started to get suspicious of her and this girl. But my sessions now I’m focusing on why I can’t seem to let go of her and why after she treated me so terribly I still love and miss her. All my life my mother has told me that she wished she never gave birth to me and that she wished she gave birth to a thousands snakes instead of me so I guess Ive never felt worth anything. My family are also very strict so she was my first everything TBH and my parents still don’t know I’m a lesbian. I guess in some ways she was a way for me to escape from my parents and to be myself. I do still Think that she is my soulmate but she’s also made me feel so worthless too. The one person I truested the most backstabed me and made me feel unworthy of anything. I know I shouldn’t need people to make me feel good and valued but Im struggling to love myself. I just don’t know how. I’ve been made to feel unwanted by both my mother and ex and I’m beginning to think I’m not worth it. I know I’m a good person but I just don’t feel like anyone wants me or values me really.
December 12, 2016 at 12:58 pm #122538AnonymousGuestYou wrote that you “shouldn’t need people to make (you) feel good and valued”- but we do need people to make us feel good and valuable. Wish it wasn’t so, but we do need other people, beginning with our parents. We need them to see us as good and valuable so that we can feel it ourselves.
You wrote that your ex girlfriend backstabbed you. So did your mother, unfortunately when she said she wishes she gave birth to a thousand snakes instead of to you. I can’t think of something more cruel to say to one’s daughter.
I am so sorry, you were backstabbed by your own mother. I was too. Life is far from being easy following that.
The solution is to find that someone who will value you as a good person, a worthy person. “What’s the point?” you asked.
Again, the lyrics of this song come to my mind: “to love and be loved in return.”
