Just curious if this has happened to anyone else - before & in the beginning of when LVM ex & I started dating, I had a lot of friends and had a good relationship with my family and was generally in a good place in my life. Around 3 months into our relationship (when we started LDR + manipulation, gas lighting, communication issues, tears, fights, anxiety, etc started), I found myself becoming an anxious mess. I lost a bunch of friends (because I “changed”) and I became a bitter & low energy person overall. I broke up with him around 2 months ago when he confessed he had been cheating & lying. It was the reality check I needed about dating and men, but I’ve been struggling to remember who I even was before him. I miss the happy, friendly life of the party girl I used to be because I always revert to that bitter and low energy person no matter how hard I try to move forward. Has anyone else gone through this?
