Reader’s Question

Q:

I am in serious condition. I really need help. I had a breakup with my girlfriend. Since then I am having a problem to make my thoughts clear and understanding others’ thoughts clearly. I really need help. I am under treatment. But I think that clinical psychologist can help me much better. I don’t have money to contact. Can you help me just for the mankind?

A:

We often have problems with concentration, attention span, and memory due to the depression that often follows a romantic break-up. I would imagine you are under treatment for the depression side of the break-up. The internet has thousands of websites that provide help, support, and guidance for those recovering from a romantic break-up.

As an example, you can go to Google and type in ‘breaking-up +recovery’.

That will produce over 700,000 websites with advice on how to recover from the ending of a romantic relationship. Just like going to a counselor or therapist, use the guidelines and advice that make sense for your situation. There are also internet discussion groups that are very helpful.
