A week ago last Monday, My boyfriend of 6 months dumped me on an email. That is a horrible way to end a relationship by the way. We had been having a few issues/misunderstandings, he has anxiety/panic issues. He could never handle ANY conflict. When we would have a conflict he would just completely SHUT DOWN. In the email he said that "our relatioship was causing him to much anxiety and discomfort, so he was walking away from the relationship" It's just really hard because we were going to move in together and were planning our lives together. It's hard for me to focus on anything but him and what went wrong between us because I love him sooo much.
My mom said that he needs to get MAJOR therapy for his anxiety. I mean he would get really anxious and then very depressed if anything ever happened between us (spats etc.) It's just really hard not to blame myself and he won't even respond to my emails etc. that I sent to him after he sent me the email dumping me. Maybe it's for the best. I just hope he gets the help he needs and I believe I need some therapy too. I just needed to vent a little. Thanks for listening.

Been there, had it happen. It does suck. You are not responsible for what he does. It is not your fault, the way he did it is cowardly and it is all on him. Your mom is right he probably does need help. Just concentrate on you and know that you deserve better than that. Don't email him anymore, delete his email address, take his # out of your phone.
Just concentrate on yourself. It takes time, but it does get better.
