It’s been four months since the breakup. I had started to feel a little better still had rough days but I was trying to move forward focusing on my career and hitting the gym. But recently I had to visit my ex’ gf town for an exam and ever since then my anxiety has come rushing back.
Every morning feels heavy again racing heartbeat restlessness tightness in my chest like I’m about to explode. I can’t concentrate my appetite’s gone and it feels like I’m right back at square one. I don’t fully understand why this hit me so hard. Maybe it’s the memories. Maybe it’s the fear that she’s thriving while I’m still stuck. It’s like my mind refuses to accept that she’s living her life without me.
I feel helpless. I’m struggling to function normally and it’s honestly terrifying. Why is this happening again after months of progress? Is it normal to relapse like this after a breakup especially when you’re reminded of them?

yes it is possible but if you now come back from this anxious feeling then may be you will get strong enough to never feel like this again
relapse happens more than we think, especially with triggers. try to breathe through it, keep your routines, and don’t beat yourself up for feeling this.
have you been able to notice which exact moments trigger the racing heartbeat? sometimes naming it helps a little with control.
i felt the SAME when i had to go past my ex’s street for work. all the progress just vanished for a bit, it’s so damn heavy.
