Depressed after hearing from ex

[Mellisax1]

Posted not long ago about my verbally abusive ex was back in touch and now I feel like am back at square one haven’t left the house in days stupidly gave him the chance to come over and he’s never contacted me since have reached out a few times daft I know but this was all his idea the visits ect now feel I have made myself look so stupid and he really doesn’t even care enough to reply to texts it’s just feeling down and depressed now I suffer from bad mental health as it is and he knows this my friends feel he might feel he let me down cancelling plans so he’s done a disappearing act but he’s played with my emotions and it feel it’s very unfair I know he’s abusive I got rid but still very hard

Block him everywhere. It's the only way. Abusive relationships cause trauma that is hard to get over. They are like addictions.

I just wrote this on another thread but it would work for an answer to you too:

You need to treat these kind of relationships like an addictive drug which is what they are.

You are like a person who has given up cocaine and not taken it for 9 years. Now someone is offering it to you and you are tempted.

Realistically it will probably be hard for you to say no and you will go and see him.

You would be better off not doing that as you know.

If you are going to do it, treat it like an addictive drug, go into it with your eyes open and be prepared for dealing with some unpleasant long term consequences as you come down/come off your short term high.
