Hypnotherapy to get over heartbreak

[Bloominglush2023]

My relationship ended 3 years ago and I still feel so sad about it inside. I’ve found it hard to move on. I’ve tried and I go to work and see my friends but I really feel so sad. I cry a lot when I’m alone. I’ve had psychotherapy and whilst I function I just have this awful melancholy feeling and I can’t bear the thought of living another 30-40 years like this.

maybe I need closure? It didn’t end particularly well. I did after much agonising message a few months ago asking to meet up and speak but he said no.

Why can’t I move on? I’m considering having hypnotherapy to help. Has anyone had this or has any advice or tips they can recommend?

After 3 years, it's not normal to still feel this strongly about a breakup so yes, hypnotherapy may help.

Have you had any other romantic relationships in the last 3 years?

Thank you for replying. No I haven’t.

I really feel quite unwell and so low. No one would really know but anytime I start to think about it my eyes well up.

Do you want to tell us why the relationship came to an end?

Hi @Bloominglush2023
I had a relationship 20 years ago, everytime i'm single omg i can't stop thinking of him. He's literally on my mind all the time. When i'm all loved up and happy i don't think of him. I totally understand what you're going through. I think you should start dating, honestly hun i think it will really help. I know the thought of dating is uughhh but once you find someone you connect with it will be worth it xx

Hi op

You say that you feel unwell and very low. Have you spoken to your gp? If not I think you should. I don’t know about hypnotherapy, if you try it please do also speak to your gp about how you are feeling. Do you have any support in rl?

I'm sorry you feel so low. I'm not so far along myself - only a few months - but I also feel
So bereft and like I can't imagine being interested in anyone else again (I've tried). My ex has moved on - very quickly (definitely overlap) with someone new and because we have DC, I have to deal with that on a daily basis. It's very hard. I just hold on to the idea that it will get better, that their rejection of me and everything that entailed isn't really about me, but about them; and I did love them so much - that wasn't wasted.

I don't know. It's really tough. Things will get better, I know they will. Do you have supportive friends/family?
