Marriage, love issues.. missing in life.
I am suffering from heartbreak and one-sided love. I am deeply attached to him emotionally and mentally, but he has no feelings for me. Recently, he got engaged, and I feel completely dead inside. I only want that person in my life. I am not well — physically, mentally, or emotionally.

It is very tough. To see someone we love unconditionally, is starting his life with someone else.
But you can also think like if the person is not happy with you, they have the right to move on. It will take some time to get over from this but eventually you will get better.
Next Steps
You may start taking therapy for your current situation and the numbness inside you will gradually go away.

Hi,
I'm truly sorry you're experiencing such intense pain and heartbreak. Losing someone you deeply care about, especially when they do not feel the same way, can be devastating and leave you feeling empty and overwhelmed. It's important to remember that healing takes time, and it's okay to grieve and feel hurt. During this difficult period, focus on self-careâsurround yourself with supportive friends and family, engage in activities that bring you comfort or distraction, and consider talking to a mental health professional who can help you process your feelings and rebuild your emotional strength. While it may seem impossible now, with patience and support, the pain will gradually lessen, and you'll find ways to heal and move forward. Remember, you deserve love and happiness, and healing is a journey you donât have to face alone.

Hello
Thanks for reaching out
I hear how painful this feels you’re experiencing grief, rejection, and emotional dependence all at once. One-sided love can feel like a deep loss, almost like mourning someone who’s still alive. Right now your mind is looping around “why him” and how do I live without him but that loop keeps the wound open.
What helps is slowly shifting focus from him to you rebuilding the parts of your identity that got tied to that attachment. Therapy will help you process the grief, strengthen emotional boundaries, and learn to regulate the craving for contact or memories. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting; it means learning to carry this pain without it defining you.
Take therapy. You can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five

It’s natural to feel lost, numb, and even physically unwell when your heart is hurting this much.
Right now, it’s important to allow yourself to grieve — heartbreak is like a wound, and it takes time to heal. Instead of focusing on why he didn’t choose you, try to shift towards nurturing yourself — your body, mind, and emotions. Surround yourself with people who genuinely care for you, and don’t isolate yourself in the pain.

Hi,
I understand that you’re going through an emotionally distressing time. Heartbreak and unreciprocated attachment can significantly impact one’s emotional, physical, and mental well-being. What you’re experiencing is a natural response to emotional loss, and it’s important to give yourself space and compassion to heal.
It would be beneficial to consult a psychologist, who can help you process these emotions in a healthy manner, work on emotional resilience, and gradually rebuild your sense of stability and self-worth. Take care.

Hi
Why do we need someone else- to whom we have given our time, efforts and love, expecting/ hoping the same in return. Why do we depend on somebody so much??
Why can’t we be self reliant and support and believe that our strength is enough for us. At least we won’t break ourselves.
Imagine if you could be so strong n so powerful that you don’t need anyone to rule you. This is your life, you need to drive your own life, why should you give your car for someone else to drive ??
Secondly, what hurts more here is, that he is engaged, which makes you think that you were less from that other girl. But it’s not the truth. You have your qualities that someone else might not have. You can refine your skills and talent and make yourself proud of you.

Hi,
I can understand how deeply painful it must feel to love someone wholeheartedly and not have those feelings returned. When emotional attachment runs deep, heartbreak can affect both mind and body — bringing heaviness, fatigue, and emptiness. Please know these emotions are valid and a natural response to loss.
Next Steps
You are going through a form of emotional grief. Healing begins by allowing yourself to process the pain instead of fighting it. Counselling sessions can gently help you rebuild self-esteem, release emotional dependency, and find peace within yourself again. Therapy will guide you to shift focus from “why me” to “how can I nurture myself now.”
Health Tips
• Write your feelings in a journal — it helps release emotional intensity.
• Practice slow breathing or mindfulness whenever the thoughts of him arise.
• Surround yourself with supportive people and positive activities.
This phase may feel endless, but it will pass. With the right support, you will rediscover strength and joy that come from within you — not from someone else’s presence.

Hi... Heartbreaks are really difficult to overcome, especially when they a accompanied by a feeling of being left alone. This feeling of needing 'that person only', is a response to being left alone. Remember, the value of someone of something usually increases if we can't have it. Our mind is designed to always value what we lost or can't have. Our sense of imagination is much more powerful, than our perception of reality. You can help yourself if you take regular therapy sessions to get over this heartbreak. Therapy helps to relieve the pain & suffering, and also provides deep insights into what triggered this kind of an emotional response at the first place. Learning to change is the first step towards our liberation.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist.
Interpersonal Relationship Counselling is required.
