Do all this mean i am depressed and need medication and counselling? or is it just normal post break up feelings?
Also, someone mentioned about facing these feelings about the past. How DO you face them? I would think I HAVE faced them, because bringing up most of the memories just makes me feel numb (as I replayed them in the past till I'm sick of it) now, and I don't really care anymore. B
ut I guess there are still some pretty deep memories that hurt me deeply. Maybe I still need time. I don't know. It's just taking a lot more time than I expected...(been about a 14 months), but I've made tremendous progress compared to before...(at least that's what I think) Still finding it hard to talk about the past, as I've read somewhere before that one would be considered to be completely moved on if one is fine with talking about his hurtful past.
I want to completely move on.

I've experienced the same thing. The last relationship I attempted ended very painfully for me, and it took me several years to recover. I no longer think of it now, but for years, like 5 or 6, I was struggling. I wanted to move on, to
not think about it. In the end, it just took a lot of time. It takes as long as it takes. If you are in counseling, that could help. I found medication to be most helpful, since I tend to obsess. As for your talking about it, you will be completely healed when you say "MEH" as in it's not important and I don't want to waste my energy going over it either verbally or mentally!
