I'm so overwhelmed right now. I finally broke up with my boyfriend of 5 years. We just simply weren't compatible at all; we had entirely different communication styles and his often left me feeling neglected and abandoned, exacerbating my whole fear of abandonment issue.

I'm so terrified of being alone, and most of all watching him go through this heartbreak is killing me. I take on everyone's emotions x1000 it feels like. I'm terrified that I may slip back into the relationship because it seems like these feelings are closing in on me and I'm going to crumble. I don't know what to do.
