Should I go to the doctors?

[Bluebird99]

I avoid the doctors at all costs but I just feel so, so down following my ex blocking me and cutting contact to go back to his ex.
It’s been two weeks and I am really struggling, I feel sad all the time, think about him and dream about him constantly, cry daily, I have no motivation to get up on a morning and struggle to sleep.

I don’t know how I can make things better :(

What help are you looking for? If you think antidepressants may be helpful, then you need to see the GP. If you are looking for counselling, you can usually self refer online.

How can you make things better? Give yourself time, and as difficult as it feels, keep busy so you're not thinking about him.

Only you know how strong you are to deal with these things. Going to the doctor won't provide a quick fix. Even if you go on medication it'll take time to get into your system.

Do you have some friends/family you could talk to and get support? How long were you with your ex for? Try and keep yourself busy and try listening to positive affirmations to help boost your mood.

Big hugs, I know break ups are hard.

I don’t want medication and I only really have a couple of friends I can speak to. I just don’t know where to turn

Counselling might be helpful but don't discount anti depressants entirely as they can be massively useful. You are grieving a you have had a loss of sorts.

You are grieving the relationship and it is natural what you are doing.

It's literally only been a couple of weeks, give yourself a break!

You are grieving the relationship.

3 pieces of relationship advice.

1. You can't force someone to love you.
2. The only behaviour you can control is your own.

3.The only person that can make you truly happy is yourself.

Just don't be upset for too long, otherwise refer yourself for counselling.
Watch videos on YouTube about getting over relationships. Alex Cormant. French relationship coach is good.

Bad things fall apart so that good things can come together. Marilyn Monroe quote.

Start healing yourself. Love yourself more!

It's very natural to feel this way after a breakup. How long were you together?

Why don't you vent on here? Or write a diary?

@bluebird99 go doctors, even if you don't want medication. You can get lots of different help. Also, if you had an infection, youd get antibiotics... so dont rule out medication all together. It can help you through the hump and you can be off it in a few months. If you need someone else to talk to feel free to pm me op. Join the break up support thread mike was suggesting too(im there as well lol) going through it too.

I'm not sure two weeks as a natural reaction meets the threshold for medication anyway. But if you're not coping and need help it's ok to ask for that.

It should start to ease. Grieving is natural (but crappy).

You can talk to Samaritans if you want somewhere to offload or cry or feel less alone. You don't have to be suicidal to contact them and you have the choice of phone, or email (or text I think?). Tel 116123 or [email protected]
