So how does it feel to be truly happy? Like, 'Happy from within' as they would say? Cause ever since I was a child I've considered myself to be a happy and positive person, despite the terrible things that happen. And I tell myself "Im just a strong, happy person." but day by day I'm realizing that I never really processed any of the traumatic things that happened to me, never really acknowledged being hurt, used, and so on. .

One of the biggest contributors to my depression now is needing people.. I tend to always isolate myself when I need help but now I just really need that. I feel so dead inside, I feel scared and lonely, it feels strange being in my body, in my mind, I don't recognize myself and feel somewhat detached.

I feel like a stranger to myself tbh..

Are you serious? The least she could do is at least show that she's there for you, listen, try to help, try to get you out of what you're living.

What makes you think she's seeing someone else?

@Fred l9 Damn, that must hurt so bad. I don't know how you feel, but I could only imagine. And it sounds tough. Did you suggest it and she refused? Or did she just straight up say let's not have anything physical ever again?
