Hey @Nitwam

Sending you massive hugs, I'm sorry you're going through this break ups are really difficult at the best of times, but I'm sad to hear they left you due to issues you had? Do you want to talk more about those? It is really, really common to have anxiety when your partner goes out and a lot of the time there is a reason for that (previous relationships going wrong etc). I used to be like that too due to a previous partner cheating, so can relate to that

Are you finding ways to distract yourself? I think after a break up you need time to heal and distraction like working out/ going for walks /watching a new series etc might help. Is there anything you really enjoy doing that might help?

Just been playing video games and going on walks to distract myself

I'm sorry to hear of that, it must be difficult. Those distractions sound like a good start.
Maybe you could use this time to try and grow as a person and try and improve on things but generally just getting involved in other activities that are unrelated will help you the most.
I hope you can find a way to heal.

Hey @Nitwam

I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through this. I just wanted to assure you that we are here for you and you're not alone. Distracting yourself by playing video games and going on walks is a great idea. 

I just wanted to mention a quote I heard recently
