Nerve Dating Confessions
February 17, 2:56PM I think I'm becoming an alcoholic. I'm 25, female, teaching at a university and the love of my life just broke up with me in a very crude way, after cheating on me.. Now I find comfort solely in drinking and sleeping around with guys I don't even like. I wake up disgusted with myself and have suicidal thoughts all the time.. I'm just too weak to change my thinking. Waiting for a miracle to happen. Dont judge me, please... #needadvice CAN RELATE (9) CAN'T RELATE (3) FLAG FOR ABUSE

Take it eaasy. A boat load of 25 year olds do what you do. You are not alone. Just focius on something that helps uou get better rather than something that breaks you down.

hey, it`s normal to fell that way, especially if it was recently. you have to realize that this is something everybody goes trough, it is rough but that is life and you have to keep it together and belive me i have been there, my ex gf left and then after a week she started seeing somebody else and started posting photos on FB so i know the feeling. Sleeping around will not help to make you feel better, just find something that distracts you, like do excercising, take lessons or hang out with friends.

See a counsellor. A good counsellor will be someone you feel comfortable with and they won't judge you. Good luck!

Well, that wasn't too recently.. It was like half a year ago. But he couldn't let me go after the break-up, I was vulnerable, so we were sleeping together from time to time, I cooked him meals, etc. Ten he found himself a french bassist girl and fucked her, and fell in love.. And when I tried to fuck the pain away with a semi-friend of ours, he called me a slut and told me to fuck off forever.. So it's been terrible ever since. I've cut my veins to an almost success.. Not to mention, plucking my hair whenever I have thoughts about this whole situation... Too bad good counsellors are quite expensive in my country.

How the hell are you teaching at university level at 25? You aren't in the USA are you? Sorry, that part stood out more than your banal 'drinking cuz my boyfriend left me' part. Really. How the fuck, 25? fuck I have been doing everything wrong it seems. sorry went on my tangent.

Well, I'm a teaching assistant on my way to becomming a lecturer. I have a BA and an MA degrees, both took me 4 and 2 years respectively. Now I'm a graduate student and I teach some seminars for the freshman and sophomore year students. No, I'm from Europe. But wouldn't that be the same in the US? I graduated highschool when I was 18..

Ah, ok. I figured you weren't in US. Academic jobs aren't around anymore in US. You have 40 year old adjunct professors still hoping for real gigs with tenure track. Anyway, regarding your emotional distress, just drink, do what you have to to get over him. Don't be so quick to make everything a "problem."
