<human>: Condense the text into a few key points

Under a throwaway, evidently. The reasoning is my own. Onto the story.

It's been nearly a year since my ex-girlfriend and I have broken up, we were together for around nine months.

Cutting a long story short as to the reason for the breakup, eight months into a relationship with my ex, my previous girlfriend started playing mind games with me which slowly (but surely) started messing with me. I realise that sounds ridiculous, I'm still unsure whether the intent was solely to break us up, or to get back with me and I still look back and wonder how I was even affected. Regardless, it worked. I ended up breaking up with my ex, relapsing onto antidepressant medication (I was just about certified to come off it) and losing my job due to the way she messed with my thoughts and feelings, however she's now completely out of the picture (and was so one month post-breakup); ended up moving four to five hours away and has zero contact with anybody I know (partly due to the way she treated me).

It's been nearly a year that we've been broken up, now. I've seen her around because we live in the same area and not really thought anything of it until recently, and now I can't get her off my mind. I sat down with a close friend with an attempt to re-organise my thoughts and I came to the conclusion that I do want her back (which was sort of evident from the constant thinking about her), but I have no idea how to approach it at all. On top of this, her mother and older brother despised me from day one, so I can't imagine how they'll react too.
<bot>: One year on from ex-girlfriend. Was okay with this until recently, now can't get her out of my mind. Want her back, don't know how to approach whatsoever.
