    They were all short-lived (longest one 7 months), most of them toxic and i’ve always been the anxious/chaser, definitely not secure.

    I’ve seen all those posts since that happened to me and i was shocked with the resemblance..
    I stopped with this therapist since i wasnt seeing any progress, she was just telling me to share my thoughts with her the next time, etc.
    I brought it up in the last session and she was intrigued but like i said, nothing helpful.
    It does sound fitting but it has never affected me in previous relationships, why now? Yes when she mentioned all those things, my mind started feeling weird, and 3 days later i got hit with the dissociation. I also suspected that the distance was my safety and i didnt have to leave the comfort zone but like i said, i’ve never had any problems with previous relationships, even tho i’ve never received so much love and i wasn’t very vulnerable. (I associated the doubting part with ocd)

    But how can i know if i was afraid she would turn out to be like my mother?

    Hello anita
    Yesterday i came clean to her about everything in my mind. My shutdown, my possible avoidant attachment, my depression and nothingness, i told her how much she meant/means to me and how she made me feel. She was kinda astounded and we both agreed on taking some time to see if we want to continue and how we are feeling.

    Immediately after confessing everything to her i went even more numb and flat, felt like i cant care if she leaves or stays. I told her that i now gave you the power to “hurt” me and its something ive never done in my life, sharing the darkest parts of me.
    My feelings of depression and apathy/anhedonia are still here ofc, i still dont wanna do anything.
    I am really worried i pushed a great person away and i am gonna deeply regret it later.

    Thank you for your information. I suffer from OCD/obsessive thinking and rumination every day, so i hope that will help me if the doctor prescribes it. I will go for psychotherapy aswell, i hope i get to the end of this because its no way of living.

    Oh, how did that go? Did u have any side effects? did they truly help u get better or is it better off?
    I dont take any yet, but the appointment with the psychiatrist is at the end of the month, so idk if he will prescribe me with some.

    I mean if i can read the summary/meaning of the movie somewhere without having to watch it 🙂

    Yes exactly, my love and selflessness, my joy. I only got sadness and anxiety now, also despair.
    I wish i could reignite everything..

    Did u get any medication for it? (i suppose u went through it sadly)

    Right now i can’t focus on watching anything, let alone enjoying it.
    Do u think i could read the meaning somewhere?

    Thank you very much, i hope so too, but the road seems lonely and far..

    Hey anita

    I suppose u mean i force myself to do things? Thats what im trying to do lately but is been really tough. I am looking forward to my psychologist/psychiatrist visit to get some help.

    I see your points and logically i know its the solution but its hard, as u probably know.
    I have been working, going out for walks, playing some games, talking with friends, but nothing helps eventually. My mind still goes back to the solution-seeking mode, scouring the internet/chatgpt trying to find my feelings. Its a really tough process.

    Thanks for your reply, Roberta

    I mostly felt good when i was helping people. So i might have to find a job or something like volunteering like u said to get that feeling back. But its hard to move now

    I havent found it yet, feels like whatever i do, my mind circles back to her/us, probably because that was the only thing i was enjoying.
    Even before her, i wasnt much of a happy or driven person. I would function every day but i would rarely get any joy from anything. Life was grey.

    Hello anita, i hope u are recovering well!

    I for sure over analyzed everything because i was panicking and didnt know what was happening, but because i cared for her i wanted to not leave her in the dark wondering. But it backfired..

    I will never overexplain or analyze to anyone ever again without being sure first. That was a big mistake.

    Hi Alessa

    I did yes and i felt a bit let down by her responses, but i cant blame her because she felt like i was telling her this whole thing was a lie and i wanted out indirectly.

    I shared many things that were not valid (while we were searching into what could have happened to me)

    Its difficult to keep score, i usually talk things and move on if i can. I am mostly positive though.

    I have huge anxiety, i was trying to find out why this happened and how to get my feelings back, if its the end and so on.

    I am catastrophising a lot in my life/relationships and it feels like an automatic mechanism.

    I know it probably will sort itself out but i feel like if i deprioritise, it will go away.

    I told her that it could be because of our frequent communication, because of her showing too much love, limerence, adhd hyperfixation/ocd, because i didnt set firm boundaries (which is true), because i was feeling too much and some other things that eventually got her start “hating” our relationship, since she interpreted them as very negative things, so she started disconnecting aswell. I feel like i’ve fractured a good part of our bond and that makes me sad.

    I don’t know if that’s possible, since the first one, the intense, is only present because of the dopamine (i guess).
    The normal one is good too, but right now it’s the numb/depressed version which im trying desperately to get out of.

    I have never done meditation, don’t know how it works.

    That is the part of me that gets activated when in love/infatuation and he is very lovable.

    It is a part filled with joy, positivity and happiness. Motivated and driven to do a lot of things, loves being caring and giving to people, taking care of my SO is very fulfilling. Also kinda tireless, energetic, full of dopamine and serotonin.
    I dont think i can make it any longer but all & all, it feels euphoric and purposeful.

    I dont know if thats good tho

    I feel like if i lose her, i lose a great person, but at the same time, i lose this part of myself that resurfaced with her.
