    Yeah i think most of us have insecurities. Its hard to completely get rid of.

    I knew this term because i’ve always been doing it and i searched for it once.

    Yeah ask him. Also tell him about what happened now. I checked her profile and i saw that she had 6 new followers and my stomach immediately dropped, mouth went dry and i felt heat rising in my body, legs got a bit limp haha.

    Idk if it’s about that, since she told me plenty of times and reassured me that she wants nothing to do with him, even if i wasn’t in the picture she’s done and she never goes back to her past once she leaves. But what else could it be? Maybe my insecurities are not calming down.

    Yeah seems like spot on for me.. Even back when things were perfect between us, my mind would sometimes throw random scenarios that we would fight/argue, she would leave me or find someone else and how would i feel, what would i do and for minutes i would get upset/angry and distant (never told her anything about those random thoughts, only until december when we met), but would be fine within 3-5 minutes.
    It always made me wonder why i do it. Same thing was happening with my father for example, i saw in my dreams that he passed, i woke up so shook, but then once it went away, it never bothered me again, as if my brain “experienced” it, processed it and now it’s gone, not gonna hurt me again.
    It makes sense because after all this crying and grieving that i’ve done for this girl (while we’re still at it) now im numb and thinking of any relationship/future seems “off” to me right now. But i guess all this didn’t work with her, since i got attached anyway.
    How do we turn this off and connect again, anita?

    Hey anita

    Emojis are nice and fun especially if u use them to give meanings in texts haha

    Thank you anita, likewise 🙂

    I would say it might be more numb? Haha i like this phrase, the bee’s knees!

    Meh, i wouldn’t say i feel better. Yesterday i was out with friends and within an hour i wanted to go back to my house and stay there. I can’t connect with anyone, not even my friends. It’s like i watch them all laughing, having fun, conversating and i’m only able to nod or say a few words here and there. Ofc my mind is constantly fixed on her.

    Yeah why aren’t the feelings here? I remember before this happened i would feel like a kid going home to play with his favorite toy when i was talking to her, i would shower and jump in bed to have endless convos with her, would laugh all night till morning in calls… I feel such void in my chest thinking of those times, so melancholic..

    Today she posted a photo of herself on socials and when i saw it my stomach kinda dropped idk why, then i saw the first like was from her ex (they are still following each other on socials) and i got irritated. My mind instantly went “why is she posting this? does she want attention? Now her ex might reach out to her and tell her that he still likes her” and other similar things and i would get kinda angry/upset, like looking for a reason to leave.

    Hey anita

    U think? I actually feel very not-myself in the past 7 months since that day.. Feels like my normal self is resting/hiding somewhere i dont know.. Thats nice of you thank you 🙂

    I find your knowledge and replies fun and profound too 🙂

    Haha funny thing is, she told me the other week that she’s more “bound” with the current me, rather than the one i’m claiming i was before November, even tho sometimes she’s missing how spontaneous and affectionate/caring i was towards her, i still am but not to that degree, i wish i was..

    Yeah i read about it, how it affects dopamine and reward system, basically jumpstarts them or something. Idk if i should consider that. The psychiatrist had told me that it’s because of my dopamine being too high i get all those thoughts/ruminations/obsessions. But in the last days i think i feel a bit better overall, definitely not the in love feelings like before but calmer and more accepting. Maybe those feelings will not come back again sadly and i have to stay and work on it for the first time in my life.

    Haha just use whatever emoji u got saved there.

    Oh yeah i was a heavy pc gamer, still am but the passion is gone 🙂

    It’s difficult because of my emotions being so dull, it’s hard to find pleasure and motivation..She said she’ll visit next month for 3-5 days (her work doesn’t allow her more days off) but i am so anxious that i won’t be able to feel how i’d normally feel that my mind already anticipates that 🙁

    She’s supportive and wishes she could do something to help me and i appreciate her a lot but it’s a me thing..

    Have u read about Wellbutrin, anita?

    Oh i was doing that too a lot of the times, i got introduced into pc gaming around 13~ so before that i would do what u did.

    Yes she’s a sweetheart 🙂

    Yeah i know, i don’t say we will do this no matter what, i wanted this to be more of a get-to-know each other year, maybe some trips around europe and then see if we wanna move in together, but now that i have this issue it’s pretty difficult for me..

    Hey anita

    I think i was the same as u kinda, i was focused more on pc games and such.

    Yeah it’s a term that i remembered today, read it months ago.

    I know, sometimes it seems unusual to me too, but if u think u’ve found a special person for you, u make effort to get to know them (it’s fun experience too) and eventually u plan on getting together somewhere 🙂
    It kinda “Scares” me but idk yet.

    Well everything is again, confused in my head haha

    Hey anita

    Hmm, i think i was affected by isolating and being constantly on edge-hyper vigillance..Thats what i remember..

    So i was thinking today..maybe what happened to me was a LDR burnout? (i think it’s a thing) and because i couldn’t give her what i wanted, my mind went to defensive-distancing mode to avoid possible rejection?
    Because i feel like i can’t give energy, i don’t have anything..

    Hey anita

    Yeah, she told me that telling her all these things while being unfazed/calm must be something worrying/worth looking into. But i think i’ve made peace with all those things, what’s done is done, i can only move on. I dont know if im unaffected tbh, but i feel like i’ve moved on from my past. Not that i forget, it just doesn’t affect me. U think i could be suppressing unknowingly?

    Emotional decay sounds about right for my case. Like with this girl when i met her and i couldn’t stop kissing/hugging her, i remember it was amazing and addictive, but i can’t feel it, hence i can’t crave it 🙁

    Hey anita

    So if i understand correctly, my system is overloaded and can’t handle intensity at all. How will this go away i wonder? Is it neurochemical or?

    Idk when and how it was happening if it’s before adulthood.

    Yes i do that with negative emotions only, until now that i do it with loving emotions too, i figure, wow. My mind is indeed looping constantly 24/7 because i feel that if i don’t do that, i will “forget” about her and move on, weird paradox huh?
    But some days i feel like i question even that. So what emotion overwhelmed me and threw the anhedonia upon me?

    I relate with fearful avoidant (disorganized attachment) in many videos and cases i’ve read but my mind doubts even that sometimes haha
    But i dont know how i dont believe love is stable/safe, since i was living it for almost a year before this happened? (could the convo have triggered it?)

    How do i feel the love only? haha.. I remember Paulien Timmer was saying in one of her videos that FAs shutdown one feeling but because u cant suppress only one, u shutdown everything, damn..

    Today i was texting with her and in the beginning i was like “why am i even talking to her? i am forcing it” and after a while she asked me about something that i was searching for (she didnt know anything on this topic) and her question/interest seemed so “innocent” and adorable to me that i cried spontaneously and i said in my mind “my sweet baby”. Then gone haha, this is all so weird.. i was also telling the therapist that i was probably waiting for love/relationship to fill my void that pre-existed, so now that the dopamine wore off, it got exposed..I told her that i fear if i find meaning in my life, i don’t want her or anyone by my side then. Maybe it’s all in my mind, a theory though..

    Yeah gemini also remembers, they are good AIs 🙂

    Haha i dont know if u can do my own emotional work

    Haha i like the acronyms!

    No no, i also like Eminem, mockingbird and when i’m gone are probably my favorites from him. I also like Linkin Park!

    Vocal trance is something like: Reflekt-Need to feel loved and techno probably: Push – Strange World or PPK-Ressurection (that’s a gold)

    From 2pac i think Ballad of a dead soulja and jezebel 🙂

    Hmm, i “disregard” it by breaking it down and giving excuses. For example, i might get angry at something on the street but then i’ll go in my head “that probably happened because: X, so don’t be so upset” or something like that..

    Today therapist told me to try and limit my ruminations and compulsions to 3 hours a day and then try to focus and be present with who i’m with or what i’m doing. Also we tried to go deeper and see how i perceive love, relationships and stuff.

    Hey anita

    Yes it doesn’t feel good to me either so i usually tend to disregard it, but maybe that’s not good either.

    Copilot is right, because if u express anger and u “win” then u get a sense of reward (perhaps what u said about your mother)

    Haha i know like a few of those but it’s no my style. I’m mostly into hip-hop (2pac, nas, etc), vocal trance, some techno and house.

    Hey anita

    Glad i made your evening with such a small thing 🙂

    Thank you anita, ditto 🙂

    I think i dont want it because it wasnt good when it happened so i keep finding excuses to not be angry..

    Oh i rarely feel it..and in the past 3-4 days i am so calm/numb? i dont know..

    I only like some greek songs, not many.
