I wait until I see something new on some social media or texting app, and every time I see the tiniest update I feel like ****. Last time I did this I got my brother to block certain things on my computer, but now he's not around. Also, with my phone and iPad that tactic doesn't work. So I don't know how to stop and I HATE it. I sometimes think that I should be posting in the relationships forum, but I really think that this more a problem with my disease than the actual relationship, which sucked. I am very aware that it sucked and have no good memories, but I hate myself and hate him and have a lot of anger and pride and loathing coursing through me like poison. I write about it here because it's about me hating myself and hurting myself and I can't stop it.

Edit: sorry for being annoying. I go on and on and I know it. I'm sorry.
I am going through something similar right now. I have always suffered from depression and have been doing a decent job of "maintenance" or staying out of being clinically depressed. But I recently went through a break-up and I cannot stop checking social media either. I can't stop, I am going out of my way to see something and usually it is something with his new girlfriend. I continue to torture myself and I cannot stop doing it. But you're right, I think it has more to do with my disease.
