My ex and I broke up a couple months ago. I thought he was the one. Shortly after we brokeup he started talking to his ex again and I was stupid enough to chase him & let him continue to play with my heart. Recently he told me he just wants to work on things with her and he wishes me the best. I feel like Im heartbroken all over again because part of me was hopeful things would work out between us. I am very anxious to see them together at my college this upcoming semester. Advice on how to deal with this would be very helpful..

Hi, I know heartbreak. I have gone back to the wrong person before and it just hurts more in the end. He is at least wishing you well, I know that doesn't help in the midst of the pain. I don't have advice, except to try to realize what is best for you in this? Time heals, sometimes it takes lots of time. Some wounds don't heal well and leave a scar. Look at it from the big picture, and see the hope in your future.

Hello peacelovebasktetball. Heartbreak can be a terrible trigger for depression, I am feeling the pain of that currently as well. As for your upcoming semester, maybe someone can suggest some specific coping skills, you'll need to find something that works for you, deep breathing, visualization, something but I think the fact that you know you will see them and know that it will be stressful may help you plan ahead. I was recently in a situation where I was seeing people who I was worried would trigger me, I was very fortunate to have some friends meeting me there who knew the situation and offered to run interference for me if needed. Knowing they were there kept me from getting too anxious. Hope you can find something that will work for you so that it doesn't keep you from getting the most for yourself out of the semester.

Hi, I have nothing to say except "I really feel for you and wish you the support and healing you need."
