For the past 2 weeks I've spent my mornings crying as soon as I wake up, then I go to my university Then work and I feel like myself during those long hours. And then as soon as I come back home I'm either pissed off or I feel like crap and I start to cry again.

I don't know how to deal with these emotions, I'm a very collected person and I usually deal with my emotions calmly. I guess I am still very upset over breaking up with my gf of 6 years.

But damn it, this is not me and I hate this.

I'm so sorry you're having such a rough time. But you're grieving! Yes, grieving the loss of the relationship. And grieving can take a very long time.

There are 5 stages of grief: Shock, anger, depression, bargaining and acceptance. It sounds like you're between anger & depression right now. How long ago was it that you broke up with your girlfriend?

If it's been more than a couple of months, I'd suggest that you talk with your doctor and have him refer you to a good therapist. A therapist can help you deal with this. Or you can perhaps talk to a grief counselor -- you can get in touch with on thru Hospice. They have excellent grief counselors. I've talked to one myself after my husband died. You don't have to have used their services previously -- just give them a call and ask to speak to a grief counselor. It's well worth it.

I wish you all the best! I hope things ease up for you and you begin to feel better. Please keep us posted, will you? And God bless! Hugs, Lee

Is there something in your home that reminds you of your GF? Sounds like you do well when you're distracted. Most of us do

Sigh

Yeah I spend a lot of time either angry or just plain sad. We broke up a little over a week ago. And well, we sort of lived together so pretty much everything in my appartment reminds me of her. We also work at the same place and are both in the same university.

I do have a therapist. But it's quite overwhleming when I see her. Since I'm studying psychology she's very straighforward and tells me stuff that it's well, quite hard to hear.

I' just exahusted. Every single day there's a darn argument. She was the one who broke up with me but refuses to leave alone.

So tired...
