Rejected right over the edge…

Yes, that is right. I finally had a major mental breakdown. Complete with a visit to a psychiatrists office with follow-up visits scheduled. All because I tried to force men who did not want me, to want me which set myself up for rejection and when the 4th one rejected me, it was more than my heart, soul and mind could bare and I lost it. Now, I am truly on the road to a recovery but this time with the tools I need which really gives me hope. My hope is that we discover why I have this bottomless pit of hunger for being loved by a man and how to fill that hole with whatever needs to be there. I really am hoping to find out how to have a positive and long lasting relationship or how to live a fulfilled life without one. Whichever way God wants it, I need to be prepared to handle it and right now, I am not, I realize that I am not and am very willing to try to figure all of this out. Wish me luck.

I hope you all are doing great!

Love,

Lucy

Aw, I’m sorry this happened. I hope you don’ t mind me kind of giving you my two cents. I have been through the same thing in my life. After being rejected so many times, you start to wonder what is wrong with you. First of all, from my own experience- I used to blame it on the men and there are times where we just pick the wrong ones over and again (like I did). Second of all, I finally had to take a look at myself. Men can smell neediness from a mile away. I’m not saying you were needy, I was. I was insecure, lacked confidence, self love. I was wanting a man to fill this tremendous void I accumalated through the years. I thought that if I found the right man to love me that every thing would be okay, that I would be happy. I finally came to the conclusion that no one is going to fill my void, no one is going to make me happy but me. Look, this void was so big even God couldn’t fill it, I tried that route. I realized that I needed to take a break from dating and work on myself. I needed to learn how to love myself before any one else could love me the way I wanted to be loved. I needed security, self-confidence, self-esteem, and hope. It’s really about digging deep and discovering your own soul, discovering what the void is, why it’s there and realizing that we are the only ones that can fill it, no one else. I realized that I was NEVER going to be in a good, healthy relationship until I fixed “me”. It was going to be the same thing over and again until I worked on the common denominator, me. Do not feel ashamed of having a break down, it happens to the best of us. Sometimes we can only take so much and rejection makes us pick apart and beat up on ourselves. It’s a dark feeling to not feel wanted. The most important love you can ever recieve is from yourself, self-love. Take time off to focus on yourself, your needs, you wants, your life, just you.

Hi Queen Lindsay, Every word you said is EXACTLY the road I am on. I am excited to start my therapy with the psychiatrist so I can find out what it is that is deep inside of me that needs to be corrected in order for me to have a good relationship or be happy with or without a man in my life. Thank you so much for replying to my post. It gives me hope. I just cannot believe you said exactly what I am going through. The neediness, the lack of confidence…. Right on the money. And I know sometimes they were the wrong man and sometimes I was the wrong woman. I will post my progress. Thank you again!!!
