Your mind being your worst enemy. I keep thinking back to the last woman and things she probably lied about. I start getting angry again. Up until she contacted me 3 weeks ago and I didn't respond, I felt I was getting over her. I was in a good place in my mind about it. Since then, she creeps in my mind more, and I get mad about old grievances. I wish I could get back to the peacefulness I felt about it before. Ever experience this?

Can't say I've felt exactly as you do, no.

But I recommend letting go of the anger. It is heavy, cancerous, and serves no purpose other than to do YOU harm.

Anger is a negation of life. Go live your life.

Be in control of your mind, not the other way 'round.

Ruining the short time we have on this world being angry over other people is useless.

Experience it, sure.
Immediately tell myself to STOP and purposely direct my traitorous little mind to go somewhere else.

It is hard to redirect your mind when you're hurting. The best thing to do is stay busy, busier than usual, so you're focused on something else. It's also good to attend a good yoga class that teaches breathing and meditation as a way to quiet your obsessive thoughts. Go regularly. It will also help you feel better about yourself.

Sure, when I was a 20something kid I was my own worst enemy most of the time. It's part of learning to grow up.

Time fixes almost everything. This will eventually go away or at least wont feel as aggravating.

Yes... We are thinking to move together but I am not sure if I like my ways, stuffs and furnitores more than I like him... Or it is just my mind saving , covering and tricking me... That maybe I am just too afraid to try and living with my furnitores is safe solution to me.

Yes, I experience that, but the anger is more a reaction to hurt. The last man I loved played me for a fool, took advantage of my kind heart, etc etc...I was angry but mostly I was so hurt someone could use me like that then toss me away.


No contact as a rule exists so you can get the distance you need to get over SO. Every week you should feel better. If an angry thought pops up, mindfully redirect, don't let it 'keep going' and get out of control until it is overpowering.


It makes sense, to me anyway, that the "clock restarted" when she contacted you. I suggest you block all points of contact and do not visit any of her social media at all.
