Recovering from abusive relationship
To tell you a little about myself, I'm a 23 year old student currently in my last semester of engineering.
Just recently I survived a suicide attempt which landed me in the psych ward of the hospital, it turned out to be the best thing though, as they gave me the courage to break up with my fiance. She had been beating me 3-4 times a week for the past two years or so.
Fast forward to today, I'm living back in the dorms at my school, and though I feel better about being away from her, she has been kinda lording it over me that she has a new boyfriend, and making none to subtle hints about what they are doing together. I would just avoid her, but we have an identical social circle, and work for the same place.
It's not that I'm jealous in the sense that I want to be back together with her. I just feel like there's something wrong with me that I can't ever seem to move on from relationships or find someone new. This is kinda spilling back over into a general feeling of worthlessness, and while I'm nowhere near as depressed as I was before I went into the hospital, I worry I'm headed back there.
I've been seeing a psychiatrist and psychologist regularly, and they have me on some pill that I can't remember, I feel like its helping somewhat, but I thought I'd post here and see if anyone has gone through a similar experience and could post some advice.
Thanks in advance.
