Question

So I've been dating this guy for like 3 months and we had a pretty deep connection I thought, he was my first real relationship after a string of bad dates and I felt like I could finally be myself around him. We had our first date at this cute coffee shop and I remember feeling so happy and at ease, like I was home or something. But then out of nowhere he broke up with me saying I was getting too clingy, that I needed to give him space... like what even is that? I'm just really struggling to cope with the loneliness now and I feel so attached to him still, I miss him so much it physically hurts. love-language is a thing for me, I need to feel loved and appreciated or I feel lost. First dates are scary but this was different, we had a real connection... now I'm just left with this emptiness and anxiety, how do I get over this?

so i went through something similar after my first real relationship ended, it was like my whole world was turned upside down and i didnt know who i was without him, i felt lost and anxious all the time...  i started doing little things to take care of myself, like going for walks and practicing yoga, it sounds silly but it really helped me clear my head and regain some sense of control, try doing something you love, even if its just for a few minutes a day, it can make a big difference, and dont be too hard on yourself, healing takes time
