Breakup (tw)

MyObsessionIsDeathMyObsessionIsDeath Posts: 6 Confirmed not a robot

i just broke up with my (online) boyfriend of three months and im regretting it so bad

me and him have been growing distant recently because of his inactivity and im a very needy person

the attention he had been giving me was close to nothing and i felt awful trying to find other people to pay attention to me while i was still with him.. so i broke up with him

i want to self harm but i know my mom would question why i did it, i would lose my clean streak of like 4 months and i might even go back to the psych ward again

i hate this place so much

    @MyObsessionIsDeath , thank you for making this post. It sounds like you're going through a really hard time right now, and break-ups can leave us with many different feelings, including grief, frustration, regret, sadness, relief. It's so valid to be feeling this way. Can I ask, is anyone else in your life aware that you're going through this break-up right now?

    You mentioned that you want to self-harm, and we really appreciate your honesty about this. The team are going to drop you a DM to check in around your safety. In the meantime, the following places may be able to provide you with some further support around this:

    Hi @MyObsessionIsDeath it sounds like last night was quite tough. Like Sian says, breakups can bring up a lot of different overwhelming feelings. Reaching out to your friends for support was a great idea. I just wanted to check in again, how are you feeling/managing this morning?
