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
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.
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
Sending hugs during this difficult time
Sorry to hear! Hope you're doing okay, and that you feel a little better soonx
Much love
I'm sorry to hear that and send you hugs!
I can imagine how difficult it is, but time heals for sure. All the advices above are good about distracting yourself and I really hope you could find something that help you not to think of your situation all the time
Hi @Nitwam
I'm so sorry to hear about your break up - sending you hugs!
I think the advice that you've been given here is really great - just wanted to add an article from The Mix about dealing with break ups:

Have you spoken to a professional about your anxiety?
Mind has some useful info about self-care for anxiety which could help: https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/types-of-mental-health-problems/anxiety-and-panic-attacks/self-care-for-anxiety/#.XWTtqk1YaUk
I also just wanted to let you know that you are not alone - as @Lucy307 said anxiety in a relationship is normal and it might be useful to have a read of this, just to help you in the future and let you know that you can get through being in a relationship and having anxiety:
