Episode 59: Ex-Obsessed: Emotionally Devastated and Driving Yourself Insane

Published: Aug. 4, 2015, midnight

b'For when you\\u2019re in the break-up zone that causes you to obsess over the person you just broke up with. This is for anyone who has just been broken up with or broken up with a person that they felt they loved \\u2013 and now you\\u2019re obsessing and even Facebook stalking this person. Maybe you know this is not helpful but you can\\u2019t stop wanting to know what they\\u2019re doing, who they\\u2019re with, who they\\u2019re seeing now and what that person looks like. And that is hurting you even more! But it\\u2019s an obsession and you can\\u2019t stop. Firstly \\u2013 I am so sorry you\\u2019re here! This time will end. You are in the hardest part right now \\u2013 and the more you can do to be self-loving and be nice to yourself, the faster this will end. I\\u2019ve been here myself and it blows. But you can half the time you suffer if you do everything in your power to do what you know is best for yourself. And that includes some healthy tough love when it comes to policing yourself and what you allow your focus to rest on. This kind of a break up is way worse because it\\u2019s hitting you on multiple fronts \\u2013 in other words, this is not just about the loss of love. With all break-ups, time is the greatest healer \\u2013 but in addition to that, I want to empower you with some insight into your \\u201cwhy\\u201d so that you can begin to separate from the process you\\u2019re victim to, currently: the obsessing and salting the wound. So you can see the difference between the kinds of suffering: and see what is NOT truly coming from love. As usual there are three parts. The what the why and the how \\u2013 the tools. This is for Chelsea. I heart you girl! Hang in there. X\\nLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices'
