Depression Understood Forums

I split with my ex boyfriend last year who I was with for 7 years. He hurt me by lying and cheating on me. I cut all contact and haven't spoke since June 2012. The year before my nana died and I found it hard to deal with. I feel like iv had a lot of bereavement and grief to deal with in the last 2years. I feel my old happy self has vanished before my eyes and iv lost all site of who I am.. Part of me is missing. I can't seem to figure out what I need. Me and my ex were so close and I feel like I lost part of me. It's been a year and I cant get him out of my mind. I look around and see people settled down and happy and I want to move on but because of been hurt I have been left with trust issues and feeling lost in the past. Any advice on how to get over this?

i'm not great on advise, but it sounds like you dodged a bullet with your past boyfriend.
not that i have ever cheated but i know plenty that have and they have never changed or for that matter stopped cheating .
i'm sorry you lost your nan.
in my limited experience on life i have found that time does heal and love will come back into your life.
i wish all the best for you.

No Hun I think your words made me feel better when you said I dodged my ex like a bullet. I'm greatful you replied thankyou .. Yeah time is a healer and things do get easier but it still hurts as you kinda forget your past too.. I guess we just grow up and see life in a different light xx
