What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

Yea! I was betrayed by what I thought was my soul mate, we both went through Hell to be together in the early years, I spent seven years of my life caring for her, it was like seven years of house arrest for me, only to be stabbed in the back!

It was devastating for me, probably just the same thing that happened to you, but at least there is always someone in here who will listen to you, and support you.
 
@Gadgie - mine is a bit different. It started out great, I thought he was the one for me, the sweetest guy in the world. He ended up shutting me down for no reason, and I still don't understand why he treated me that way. He spent a great amount of time convincing me (I was hesitant at first because of past experiences) that he was in love with me and then dropped me all of a sudden without any explanation. I loved him like no one had ever loved him and he just walked all over me and discarded me like used doormat. Still hard to take it all in. I'm not quite sure how I'm going to heal through this. It's so beyond me in so many ways.
 
That must have been a horrible experience for you, looks like he just used you and took advantage of your good nature!

Best thing to do is try and put it behind you, and move on, as that's exactly what my sister told me, when she came over from Holland to visit me three days ago.

After I thought about it, I realised that she was right, as I was allowing what happened to eat me up, I just couldn't think about anything else, it was taking me over.

Now my sister has gone, she left this morning, I know she was right, so, I've taken her advice, and moved on. It's not easy in any way, but I know I have to do it. I only hope you can do the same,
 
@Gadgie - thank you. It's definitely easier said than done. All of it is so new... I can still feel the newness of the pain. After he had ignored me for a while I asked him if something had changed in his heart and then he simply replied to not take the distance personally because he was going "through some things". Yeah, I'm not going to take that personally, I'm just going to simply accept he's content treat me that way and that he wants me to just be ok with it. Little did I know... he had no heart.
 
I have gone through periods where I have distanced myself from the people around me, but I've been told by a therapist I was seeing a few years ago, that my behaviour was a symptom of my PTSD?

Which, at the time I couldn't understand, but I do now. I used to go deep inside myself, and shut myself away from the world around me, along with my partner, but I didn't realise that at the time that I was doing that. (but don't confuse that with what your ex partner did to you)

Thankfully she stood by me, even though she couldn't understand my reason?
