I haven't been on here in a year

I have been busy getting on with my life. I saw this today and thought of all of you struggling. I still struggle too but not daily anymore. I saw this today and it reminded me of where i was some 2 years ago in the midst of gut wrenching pain induced on me by a college sweetheart that showed up 15 years later. Loving him did literally almost kill me, i could feel my soul dying slowly, why? Because i was exerting a huge amount of energy loving someone who couldnt love me back. Mt energy wasn't being replenished with him loving me back. I just kept expending more and morw energy yet i wasn't getting any back. People you can spiritually die from this. Please take care of yourself it read somethin like this

1 smoke and you die 10 years earlier

2. Drink daily die 30 years earlier

3. Love someone who doesn't love you back and you will die daily,

Number 3 - never a more true statement for me. Many of you are doing all of the above in an effort to cope. These people can literally cause you to die a slow death, I was almost one of those people.
