I'm really overjoyed reading on your life experiences as they share a lot of similarity, and some differences, but ultimately I'm touched you brought your feelings across that I have trouble expressing it in words myself. It's a crazy kind of life experience to share and learn.
Thank you so muuuch!

I get this. My first ex (although she was the worst girlfriend you can imagine=all sorts of abuse, addictions, consistent health problems, and compulsive lying) took me nearly two years to get over. It was 4 years until I could even consider another relationship.
My last ex took a good 7 or 8 months. I still think of her from time to time but I tell myself that is silly because she was pretty awful too. Thinking of her-as you've said- causes emotional pain and can lead to depression.
In both these cases, I was severely depressed and suicidal. They felt like the end of the world. Nobody around me could really understand why I was so deeply effected. That's why I'm glad people here can relate and share their experiences.
