I'm really having trouble at the moment just trying to justify moving forward. I really am a desperate person and this one picture has me paralyzed. I know she doesn't probably know that she hurt me so bad and I'm trying to take the high road but this is extremely difficult. I know people here have encouraged me to look elsewhere but I just haven't and I don't know if I can. A friend is needed and I don't have one I can really talk to about this. I just had to write something or explode. Thanks

Maybe this will help you. This woman didn't hurt you.
You hurt you. I noticed that you wrote "I
even been going to my therapist to talk about the issue." Are you just now telling your therapist about your habit of placing the entirety of your happiness in the hands of strange young women? I think you would be well-advised to get a
male therapist and to be completely honest about your life with the express purpose of developing a better balance between romance, work, hobbies, etc. You don't need to be a desperate person. Get competent professional help and see if that doesn't help.
