time to see a counsellor?

LegacyUser

I'm going through a phase of feeling crap about myself and life in general due to a number of factors, feeling lonely (in the single sense, I have good friends but they're all in couples) have put on a good bit of weight lately aswell which definitely isn't helping but I know I'm capable of losing that, so thats something I have control over. I am constantly over thinking things, allowing myself dwell on thoughts of an ex (we broke up nearly a year ago). I can go days of feeling fine but then I can feel like this for days upon days again, its like a never ending vicious circle. I think perhaps I haven't dealt with the break up or else there underlying issues and I'm just blaming them on the breakup I really don't know. I've spoken to my GP and friends about the break up but not recently as I fell that nearly a year on I shouldn't still be dwelling on it and I find it all hard to put into words! I dunno maybe I'm just rambling now but if anyone out there has advice I would love to hear it!

Thanks for reading.

Flip that was like something i would of wrote im currently going through those exact same things,nearly single a year now all my friends are in relationships and im living alone to make things worse,i think i havent fully gotten over what happend with my ex.i do find however that keeping busy like if i feel im sitting at home pondering on the past or my ex i make myself get up an either do a bit of gardening or go to the gym you would be surprized how it can give you a lift by doing some exercise!! Everyone will probably tell you the same thing but honestly positive thoughts and actions are the only way to go,its starting to work for me and i thought id never be on the mend.Hope that helps you a little bit Good luck
