I just can’t

I’ve wrote on here before about my struggles with my ex. I’m on the edge since it came out he’d met someone a few weeks after our 6 years ended and they’re now officially together. I have seen pictures online of him today on his sisters story and he looks so happy and handsome, I can’t do it anymore :(

I want to feel better but I can’t accept that he never loved me. We were meant to get married, owned a house for 4 years and he’s now the most horrible and cold person.

I’m just not sure I can do this

What are you not sure about?

Are you having distressing thoughts?

Please don't go down this route. You're grieving for a relationship that didn't work out, seriously, we've all been there.

It really is grief and you will need to get through the various stages to move forward.
It's absolutely fine to grieve and wallow a little. You've had a horrible shock that has changed your life forever.
But I promise you it WILL eventually be a change for the better. It doesn't feel it yet but you've really dodged a bullet here.
Try to be kind to yourself and get help in real
Life

Unfortunately currently you are in the worst part of the grief process. It is difficult, dark and painful but it will pass.

Keeping busy, spending time with a friend or close family member will help. Get out of the house, even if it is just for a walk or run.

As much of a temptation as it is, looking at social media is the absolute worst thing you can do.

Keep strong, it gets better with time.

Thank you both.

It’s all too much. He’s so happy in our old home with his new person. He’s been fine since it was over
