  breakup guilt

  by fresh prince of ohio in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  i recently broke up with my girlfriend of four years.. she is 40 years old, with health problems, financial problems, little family/friend support, and facing an uncertain future.

  i gave her some money.. the guilt i am experiencing right now is absolutely anguishing.

  she had very, very high hopes about our relationship and loved me very deeply.

  Well, maybe its not the best article- but you cant depend on me to find all you reading material for you!

  My point is: do some research. Times like this, give your thinking mind a little workout so it can interpret what your feeling mind is feeling. You might read about someone JUST LIKE YOU.

  from your posts it sounds like you are DESPERATE to feel better, or at least stop feeling the way you feel which includes obsessive thoughts.

  NO ONE on this board has responded to you with advice like- HANG IN THERE- GET BACK TOGETHER.

  for me, I can relate to having once felt how you feel now.

  Going back means dragging it out AGAIN. Fine. It may be like the flu- you just have to let pass through you like a virus.

  But if you do that you are wasting valuable time and putting yourself at risk.

  Be courageous and make a break. Pain lessens in time. Meanwhile exercise is an excellent outlet. I once cried my broken heart out shamelessly on an eliptical machine.

  Adele, "Set Fire to the Rain"

  by losingit in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  this song describes how i fell in love with my soon to be ex-husband... and it also describes the shock at finding out who he and the wtbts really are.... heartbreak, even with ensuing happiness, is hard to overcome.

  to all those that are going through heartbreak and despair, set fire to the rain and be free!

  i dare it to be possible..... i let it fall, my heart.

  I said: Yes unfortunatley

  them: why unfortunately

  me: (fire in mine eyes)

  Them: Its OK, you can talk to us.

  me: I would advise you to research your religion thoroughly.

  Good bye.

  that was as polite as I could be in that moment given I was ready to really go on a rampage- and I didnt want to ruin my day.

  But I couldnt help but wonder what else I could have said to make them think.

  Did anyone ever say anything to you at the door that made you think, or that you looked into.

  What gives you away as a (former) JW?

  these days my jw past stay safely under wraps from nearly everyone.. i dont dig it up- and i see no need to talk about it with anyone.. sometimes i feel as if my past is a large and terrible secret, and i will be found out eventually.

  people can sense i am different.

  i never talk about my family.. i guess people chalk it up to being a private person or let me be a mystery.. however, there is one thing that i feel completely reveals me as having been raised a jehovahs witness:.

  Hey Guys! Wow! I guess there are quite a few ways to approach this whole thing- some of you wanna spread the word about the dangers of the JW- some are more vocal than others. In my circle its something I almost never reveal. I feel its telling to much and puts me in a weaker position. The people I know know enough about the religion to know its a crock- and if they dont I do inform them of some of the more exciting teachings: YOU WILL DIE AT ARMAGEDDON AND I WONT, LET YOUR BABIES DIE WITHOUT BLOOD, etc. Recently I did some splaining to an Uncle in law over dinner, and I have to say, it ruined the meal for me.

  mouthy everyone loves you so THAT is something to live for.

  Also, I love the idea of Santa Rampage.

  Also, I found it easier to make friends and talk to people once I stopped picturing their faces melting off at Armageddon because they wouldnt take my magazines. LOL.

  Some habits are hard to break.

  My poor Dad was so terrified to be inside of a church at my wedding he cowered near the door during the rehearsal rather than walk me down the aisle. Luckily he overcame his phobia for the big day.
