Have you experienced being so attached and had a very bad break up?  email this discussion to a friend?

It doesn't matter how bad it is, be it emotionally, psychologically, or even physically. Break ups are real bad one way or another but there are some people or some break ups that aren't as bad as others. I guess a very significant number of people have experienced break ups at some point of their lives. A lot have recovered but some really haven't (and even went to the point of killing one's self). Recovery time usually depends on how bad the break up is affecting one. If it is really so bad, generally, it takes a little longer for one to get over and move on but if it isn't, then it generally would just take a short period of time.

I myself have experienced a bad break up before. Me and my first girlfriend had a 9 month relationship and our break up was really so bad. I was so emotionally attached to her that our break up really hit me so hard. I struggled for about 2 to 3 months trying to pick myself up emotionally and get back on track and on the next months, I am starting to move on but the pain still remains and so intense. I understood that it was a part of the break up but I really wished that the pain is gone. It took me about a year to finally get over and move on but when I thought that I've already moved on, seeing her for the first time after we broke up somewhat brings back the familiar feelings. Because I'm not that emotionally attached to her during that time, it took me just about a month to get over her.

Such break up was so bad that it really affected everything that I do. But I'm thankful now that such experience really helped me become a mature and stronger person.

i've been through a bad break up a few months ago. to cut a long story short, i'd met him when i was 12, was always on/off with him through school, then when finally got together and started a real relationship almost three years ago when i was 16. in february of this year, he broke up with me. i was utterly heartbroken. i didn't know what to do with myself, i didn't want to get up in the mornings, i couldn't keep myself together at work, it was horrible. after about two and a half months, i decided i should stop thinking we were going to get back together because i'd lost him for good. i tried to make myself feel better, and sometimes it was working, although waking up in the morning and keeping on my happy face was very difficult. about a week later, he came crawling back. now we are happily back together, but i let him know how distraught i was when we broke up, and to be honest, he was pretty distraught too, and it took him that amount of time to realise he'd made the wrong decision.
i'm kind of glad it happened though, we both got to think things through and spend more time with friends, and now we're stronger than ever - we don't fight like we used to, we go out alot more and we spend more time alone with friends than we used to.
i'm glad you've grown as a person. good luck to you in the future :)

I'm actually in my third relationship now and it's been about 6 years since that very bad break up. I feel that such setback was just a tool to make me better and more mature. I'm totally fine now and so happy in my current relationship. Things just happen for a reason and most of the time, it's for the better.

I did not have it bad with my first bf.Let's call him the X! But I broke up with X because I can't stand cheaters and two-timers. And I have a policy that exes can't be friends!
The relationship with X haven't add any positive addition to my character though, it just made me more cautious with men. I think that's more negative than positive. It made paranoid and believed that men in general can't be trusted in relationships.
But of course there is always an exception to the rule like my father and my boyfriend.
I don't like bad break-ups. It's painful. You'll always have that memory of your ex. I mean, in my case, I have no fond memory or whatsoever with X. That's a close book never to be opened again. HEHE.
But in case of bad break-ups, do you really have a closure?
