It's been 4 months since my ex dumped me. We've had no contact, and I have no idea what he's up to. Things ended badly and I know he will never speak to me again.
I felt about a month ago that I was slowly getting over him and even went on a couple dates (just for fun not trying to dive back into anything.)

I started edmr therapy for some ptsd I have about 3 weeks ago and I'm not sure if it's that that has caused all the recent flashbacks but I've been having dreams about him every night and am constantly thinking about him and being sad throughout the day (much like I was when it was a new breakup). I feel like I've started to go backwards.

Wondering if this is a thing people with bpd do, or if anyone would have this problem from a breakup. I feel hopeless like I'm never going to get over this person.

I also don't mean to insinuate that people with bpd aren't "normal" or that there is anything wrong with us, I hope it makes sense what I'm saying? I think we all know it takes us a little longer/is more difficult to handle I intense emotions. Maybe I just answered my own question. Idk. Anyone have any similar stories??
