<human>: [Original Post](

* To bring you up to date it was just under a month ago that my girlfriend told me she no longer has feelings for me and broke up with me there and then on skype.

* Since then I have been struggling to cope, that is until the last week or so. I finally plucked up the courage to make an appointment to see a counsellor at University and went to see her today. All I can say is wow do I feel better! I never knew how helpful counselling could be! 

* I told her much more about my personal life than I thought I would - including the break up, uni stress, my generally low appetite, social isolation, worried about falling into the same trap my sister went through when she was in 2nd Year herself, etc.

* She made me realise that one reason why I am finding the post-breakup hard is because too many times have I put others before me, including seeing if Alice is okay, rather than focusing on myself. She was always asking "Yes... but how do YOU feel?" and I couldn't really answer that without putting in some sort of "If they're okay then I'm okay" answer.

* I feel much much better now and hope that this is the start of the journey home, back to my old stable fit "Scott" state!
