I am 22 and in a very bad relationship with a man. I would like to cut off all contact but it's difficult, I keep going back to him. It feels like an addiction. So many people say to hang out with friends to feel better about yourself, but all of my friends are constantly with or talking about their boyfriends, and it just makes me feel worse. I was wondering if anyone knew of any therapy groups that exist to help people get out of bad relationsips. I feel that I really need one.

Go to your gyno's office. Most of them can give you contacts. Good luck.

I have been where you are. It was an emotionally abusive relationship but I stayed for fear of being alone. We did the back and forth crap. Once I left I felt so much better after a little time. I felt happier and healthier. And you WILL meet someone else much better for you. I promise it will get better. As for the groups try calling a therapists office for a referral.

No. Group therapy doesn't work. Just ween yourself off of him like a strong woman would do. Get involved with your social life. Spend time with family. Read. Dance. Basically get used to being single and alone and being cool with it. Most people have to grow up and do that. Now it is your turn.

So true........its about strenght and maturity. If you are one of those females that "need" a man for fear of being alone it will be especially hard for you. But at any rate you (all)need to cut him loose and get busy in some other things. Lean on your girlfriends tell them you are having a hardtime and they should be able to comfort you. Change your # & delete his (so you cant drunk dial at 3am). Get rid of everything you can that reminds you of him (that you can afford to). Remind all mutual friends not to keep you updated on him and if they cant do this dont talk to them fo a while...text to keep in touch but stay away until you are over him...(if they are your friends theyll understand)...the most important thing is to stay busy busy busy busy. If you are busy you dont have time to sit and think about him. And most of all just be strong. Break ups are hard but if its for the best......then do it.....

According to PUA artists guys who sleep with 10 women will forget about their feelings for a previous mate, might work and should be a hell of a lot easier as a woman.

You need to quit worrying about whether you have a man in your life and do what's right for YOU! Change your friends if all they're into is talking about their boyfriends, and try a different path in life.How will that "special man" ever find you if you are always running back into this other mans arms???There's nothing wrong with not having a partner, it's certainly better than having one that makes you so sad.
