Crying

I didnt know what to title this.

i had a really lovely supportive thread on here about 2 years ago. I got cheated on on my birthday.

im still not over it and i miss him everyday but i can go a few days without crying now. I havent been with anyone since but when I have some 'me time' with a battery operated friend, everytime i climax i burst out crying. Every time without fail. If i used it 3 times in an hour i would cry 3 times.

they are the biggest gut wrenching sobs. Why is this happening so long after the break up? Our sex was pretty unbelievable tbh but i dont think 'oh god im so horny i need to sleep with someone' i cant do that without a strong connection but im sick of trying to have a small dopamine hit without bawling immediately after.

Your reaction 2 years on, is not normal. If you're still crying every few days over missing a man that cheated on you, and every time you use BOB, then I say this in a nice way, please make an appointment to see your GP. It's possible you have depression. Have you had any therapy since splitting with your ex? I suggest you seek some asap, even if that means privately. You need to speak to someone regarding your feelings, and your extreme emotions. You need to find a way with your therapist's help, to move forward. A man who cheated on you, doesn't deserve this much of your headspace.
