Reader’s Question

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?

Our Clinical Psychologist’s Reply

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.
