Relationship Issues
My current girlfriend cheated on me even after I told her my traumas regarding cheating from my previous relationship. I helped through her education, finance and everything in her day to day life. I feel very depressed, I feel like dying everyday, everytime I get up from my bed. I don't know what to do. I am so much confused and I didn't even know where did I get wrong. My traumas were exploited and I feel so used up. I don't trust anyone and it hurts me because I was never so insecure about anyone. I feel terrible. My best friend also doesn't call me because she thinks I ghosted her as I took time for myself. I don't have anyone, I think.

Hello! Thank you for reaching out. I'm really sorry to hear this. I can only imagine how difficult and heart breaking it might feel for you right now. It’s very difficult to be vulnerable with people and be hurt in return. It is absolutely not okay that you had to face something like this. However, I would like to emphasise it was more about your partner’s decision than anything to do with you. People have their own reasons and circumstances for taking decisions, which sometimes have very little to do with oneself. It is not easy to accept this, nor does it lessen the grief, but I understand that investing so much in someone and not being respected in return can feel devastating. However, I wish to tell you that it unfortunately is the other’s decision. You might have done nothing and yet this could have happened. This is one aspect of your life, and while it is a very important one- please remember that dying would not do justice to the person you are and the multiple people you are loved by. While it feels terrible, and it will continue for sometime because of all the love you held for them- it will end someday. This time too shall pass. Please know that you deserve to take time to yourself for processing this grief. It is absolutely okay to take time for yourself and your emotions before talking about it with someone else. Your friends will be compassionate with you- maybe you could politely inform them that you need some time by yourself and will talk to them when you feel better. It's also absolutely okay to feel low and not work for a while. While there might not be a reason you consider valid enough to feel this way, I assure you that in these times- there is a lot of stress around us which can make us feel unmotivated to do anything. Work can come into place when you feel mentally and physically Ill. If you feel like getting too much for you to deal with alone- I would recommend you to please reach out to professional mental health practitioners from organisations or independent set ups for the same. I assure you that you would receive the care and safe place to grieve and work through these times with gentle support. They would be able to support you through these feelings much better.

I'm sorry that you're in this situation. You're feeling a mix of emotions at the moment. Betrayal because your girlfriend cheated on you even after you trusted her and disclosed things about your past. Sadness because you lost a partner. Anger and frustration because the same pattern repeated itself again. You also feel used and exploited by her. On top of all of that, you also feel lonely because your best friend isn't on speaking terms with you. You must be feeling extremely frustrated and helpless in this moment. It is a fragile time for you. I invite you to consider getting counselling so that you can work on your patterns and overcome the situation. A therapist will provide you with a safe space to process and uncover your emotions, helping you overcome this situation.

You seem to be very much emotional. Because of this, you are unable to perceive and think realistically. You should consult a clinical psychologist. He will be able to help you overcome the trauma of broken relationship. He will also correct your faulty perception and thinking about relationships. Remember it doesn't mean that you are not good person. Sometimes we are unable to project ourselves rightly.

Hello, Being cheated is not a good feeling to deal with,it is emotionally overwhelming and you seem to be sensitive.When someone is cheated on he/she starts to self blame as to what went wrong had I dealt with the situation differently  this would not have happened and this feeling gives rise to so many negative thoughts,counseling sessions would definitely help you.
Next Steps
consult a clinical psychologist for detailed evaluation and assessment
