Why do i feel this way?

[MrsFlibble]

I got dumped 3 years ago and havent had a relationship since, although i've connected with a few men, they turned out to be just like the ex.

I feel jealous over other peoples happiness, even people i dont know or am ever likely to know, am i get bitter?

I feel so low in confidence and de valued, that i dont want to date because i attract the losers.

Is this normal after 3 years, i been through hell, i just feel im existing as mummy and thats it, i dont work and no one wants to employ me either, i did all the counselling, but my life has stalled, and i have no idea how to make it jump start.

I got left for another woman, and he put me through 8 months of hell, making me think i was paranoid, whilst i had a depression too. i just feel worthless and socially awkward, does life get better?

I'm sorry things look so bleak to you right now. It might be worth going back to the GP and seeing if anti-ds or more counselling would help. CBT might be something to try to get you out of a pattern of negative thinking.

Somethings you could try are:

• doing some voluntary work to give you some recent work experience
• doing a course to update your skills

These things would also help you meet people and network, give you routine and something to feel proud of doing.

I don't think you should concentrate on dating, but on building your confidence and self-esteem - the rest will follow.
