    Hey @Nitwam

    Sending you massive hugs, I'm sorry you're going through this <3 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 <3

    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?

    @Lucy307

    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

    Sending hugs during this difficult time <3

    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:
