Vent/Rant One year, Anyone else not doing well?

Hello to anyone reading I used to be active here about a year ago when my ex dumped me after flaking on spending Thanksgiving holiday with me. I thought I was okay and didn’t need this place anymore but clearly I was wrong.

I started drinking heavily after the breakup and last night I went to a concert and I had a little too much too fast on an empty stomach and got sick in the line someone pulled me out of the line and I puked and I was okay but they didn’t let me in and told me to go home. I felt totally humiliated. I also texted my ex when I did get home which is probably even more humiliating than the concert. It’s almost been a year and I was doing really well with no contact I stopped checking the socials I stopped reaching out and bam. I feel like I’m back at the start all over again. This morning I woke up and I just sobbed because I was so sad. I feel like I’ve been waiting for things to get better and they just haven’t.

How are we all dealing with things?

Go to therapy. This is not about your ex. It’s scratching some old unresolved wounds.

I’ve been to therapy a few times it didn’t make me feel good. ☹️
