Hi Phoenix4
Welcome to the bb forum and thank you for sharing your story.
I realise it takes courage to write your first post, so well done. Please know that you have arrived at a place of kindness and non-judgemental support.
I am very sorry that your relationship didn't work out and that you were blindsided by your girlfriend. Your heartache comes through clearly in your words and I wish there was an easy fix.
Unfortunately, getting over her will be a process that takes time. I don't know when you will feel better but I do know that in time you will. Hang in there.
I think it's really important to look after yourself right now. A healthy diet, exercise and good sleep are really important. It could also help to touch base with your GP or mental health practitioner (if you currently have one for the PTSD) to work through how you are feeling.
Reaching out and talking with friends and family could also beneficial. Is there anyone close to you that you can lean on right now?
Kind thoughts to you
