Hey. I recently ended a situationship that lasted four months. I used to spend entire days at his place, putting in a lot of effort to make things special. I'd rearrange my schedule, cook during work hours, stay up late to match his nightlife routine (he’d get home around 3 AM), and be available for intimacy whenever he wanted. I’d do thoughtful things like buying him cologne or re-stocking his supplies, and even helped out with his restaurant when I could.
More than anything, I just wanted to be chosen—someone I really liked for once, and I hoped he would want me the same way. He didn’t officially end things, but I knew I had to walk away. I went no-contact for two weeks, and he never reached out. I eventually gave in and reached out, but he ignored me until he finally blocked me. I guess I can’t blame him, but it hurts. Why won’t anyone ever fight for me the way I fought for him, even when I knew it wasn’t right?
Anyway, it’s week three since the breakup, and I feel shattered. This is more painful than ending things with my ex of three years. I’m trying to stay busy, but the anxiety and endless thoughts are making it hard to focus on anything—even work. My family and friends are worried. I haven’t had a proper meal in three days, which is unlike me. Sleep is nearly impossible; I wake up constantly, and then anxiety takes over until I start doom-scrolling just to block it out.
I’ve scheduled an appointment with a psychiatrist and am considering Zoloft. I’m not suicidal, but at the same time, I wouldn’t mind if I didn’t wake up. I just need something to quiet the noise and the pain. Has anyone taken medication for something like this? What worked for you? Please, tell me it gets better…

hey I am sorry sorry you are going through this. I am a healer here and you can reach out to me on a personal chat through the Healer program on Let it go. I would like to help you through the coping. in case you feel uncomfortable chatting with a healer, I would like to recommend that you reach out to a trusted friend or family member immediately
You deserve someone who sees your worth and reciprocates your efforts.
you're incredibly strong for recognizing the situation and taking steps to move on.
Uh deserve someone who values you and fights for you.
Hang in there—it will get better. After my breakup earlier this year, I started taking Lexapro, which has really helped ease my anxiety and made it possible to get out of bed and start living again.
I don't think it's alright to recommend medications even though someone is asking. they need to go to a certified consultant for that. please do not mind i know ur trying to help.
