My friend is affecting my mental health
I have been in a so called relationship for 2 and a half years. And everytime I talk to him, he keeps demeaning me. He motivates me but at the same time demean me. And I keep thinking about him everyday and what he said affects my day to day life. So much so that it breaks my self esteem. I feel as if he is trying to reflect his insecurities on me! I feel trapped. We are not in touch now but it still affects mental health. What should I do? I think as if there is no way out. It's not so easy to just stop thinking about it!!

Hello Friend, Good that you are seeking a help here. Relationships with such contrast behaviors need a second thought. Don't try to park your happiness on such individuals or relationships where you are not enjoying anything and in fact it's affecting your mental stability. Relationships break up will take time to accept and adjust with reality. You may think that it's easier said than done, but surely this is possible if you take a professional help.
Pls openly discuss your problem with a psychology counselor to ventilate your emotions, feelings and concerns. Such discussions will help you to get a different perspective about yourself and about your problems with a suitable solution.
