I was in a very toxic relationship for 3 years he never really committed to me yet I adored him he ended it 8 weeks ago which wasn't normal because he has done it over and over. This is the first time he's cut me out in every way. My mental health declined more and more as he chipped away. I now see it was toxic but I'm in a really low place it feels like I start feeling better and then hits me like a ton of bricks I'm so depressed lonely and keep having awful memories which are now adding up to lies and manipulations but at the time I didn't see it I feel so much shame

Sorry this happened to you - it is not your fault. Shame is so toxic, but in time you will realise you did nothing wrong. It is an emotion he has evoked in you because he is cruel - not worthy of you.

Take care of yourself and take one day at a time. Block him and make sure you delete him off social media x

You didn't do anything wrong - you got into a relationship that didn't serve you and it sounds like he did not treat you well at all. That's going to leave you with some complicated emotions. It's good that you are out of it now but you still have the pieces of yourself to pick up.

Have you thought about speaking to a counsellor about some of these feelings?
