Hey guys, I'm a 25 m and I'm going through a really tough time and need some input from you guys because I dont have a lot of personal connections.

I was with my now ex girlfriend for about 6 years and it was pretty toxic. She was never really good to me but I was too afraid to leave.

We had a kid about 2 years ago and things were going really well until she said she fell out of love with me. She is going to be 27 in November and long story short, she left me for a 19 year old.

This has been extremely difficult for me this week and Im going through all the stages of pain and greif and depression. If I didn't have the baby to take care of I honestly feel like I would have ended it all already.

Everyday is a battle and life just really sucks sometimes. I guess I just needed to reach out to people to not feel alone. Do you guys have any tips or strategies that I can employ to help myself heal.

If anyone is going through something similar I just want you to know your pain is valid and its okay to cry. I find myself just randomly crying throughout parts of my day. Its been hard to eat and sleep.

Thanks for reading guys. Heres to hoping life will get better soon.
