How do i cope with breakup anxiety?

Author

Ever since I've moved back I've been having crippling anxiety over everything. Anxious about the whole breakup. Its consumed my mind even when I try to get away from it, it is always there.

I know I need to move on. I have responsibilities and things I need to get done. but my anxiety is so bad I cant focus on finish what I need to do. I've tried giving myself grace and having time to relax or do stuff that makes me feel good. I just have responsibilities I know I need to do and I cant seem to find the motivation or concentration to do it. Its that consistent feeling of doom looming over everything.

Has anyone been able to lessen that feeling? or fixed it? any advice would be appreciated. I know i need to continue my life and keep pushing and growing. Its just been so hard.

after my breakup my body acted like danger was around me 24/7, even when i was just trying to answer emails or wash dishes. the doom feeling is REAL and it makes even tiny tasks feel impossible.

did moving back also bring up memories tied to the relationship?

as someone with anxiety, as hard as it is, go for a walk, about an hour. Its the only relief I've found when it gets all consuming. Let your thoughts wonder away from them. I start visualising a new life and what I can accomplish without them
