The story

Hi! I'm not sure how to do this but I really have to get this off my chest. I was video calling with my girlfriend and out of nowhere she said "I'm gonna go" and hung up. She's been doing pretty bad lately and I've been doing my best to help but I feel like it's not enough, like I'm not enough. I was terrified she was gonna do something to herself so I asked if she was okay and where did she go- no answer. I waited and then I called and texted. And basically I've been doing that the whole night, haven't gotten any sleep. I'm terrified of losing her, I thought she was the one. At the same time though I saw she was active on snapchat so I calmed down a bit. Still haven't slept. And I hate to say this but I am so mad at her. Like why is she ignoring me? If I did something wrong I'd want her to tell me. I don't want to stay up all night worrying about her. I hate this. What do I do?

Hey there, first off… I'm really sorry you’re dealing with this; it sounds super stressful. Sometimes when someone is struggling, they might pull away not because of something you did but to deal with things internally. I get that it’s maddening and nerve-racking, especially when communication breaks down like that. I've been in a similar situation once and felt conflicting emotions too, but what helped me was giving them space while letting them know I'm there whenever they're ready to talk. You're obviously very caring and worried about her well-being, which shows how much she means to you. Maybe when things calm down a bit, you could have an open conversation about how both of you are feeling? Why do you think she chose Snapchat instead of sending a text?

man, it's honestly so frustrating when people just ghost you without a word, like do they not realize how it messes with your head?

CrazyCharcoalLightDishwasherInBangkokWithDisgust 20d ago

ugh, that's such a tough spot to be in! it's understandable to feel torn between worry and anger. i've been there too when you just want some clarity but can't get it?! maybe she's dealing with something huge and unsure how to communicate it right now. giving her space might help; sometimes people need time to sort through their thoughts before talking. hang in there...hopefully you guys can chat soon and clear the air❤️

GreatTerracottaWoodPotatoMasherInSevilleWithHope 20d ago

Man, that's a rough situation and it sounds like you're really stuck in your own head with all this… But honestly, if she's messing around on Snapchat after ghosting you, that’s not cool….I get being upset: it's okay to feel pissed when someone leaves you hanging like that. Maybe it's time to set some boundaries for your own sanity? You deserve respect too. 🤷‍♂️

hey, sounds like a rough night. it's totally normal to feel concerned and frustrated in situations like this. sometimes people need space to process things on their own, even if it seems sudden or confusing for those around them. have you considered talking to her about it when things settle down? opening up about your feelings might clear the air for both of you.

man, that sounds rough; dealing with that kind of situation is a total nightmare. it's understandable to feel frustrated when you're left in the dark like that... it messes with your mind, doesn't it? but maybe she needs some space to sort her stuff out. have you thought about why she might feel more comfortable being active on snapchat rather than replying directly to you???

It sounds like you're in a really tough situation and it's understandable to feel this mix of worry and frustration, but maybe taking some time for yourself could also help clear your mind; while she might be dealing with her own issues, your well-being is important too.

Hey, that sounds incredibly tough and I can see why you're feeling all mixed up right now. 😞 It's completely normal to feel confused and upset when someone you care about just goes silent like that. Maybe she's trying to process things in her own way, but it definitely doesn't make it any easier for you! Personally, I've found that focusing a bit on myself helps when I'm spiraling with worry over someone else...like giving yourself some TLC can help you recharge. And hey, once she reaches out, hopefully y'all can have an open heart-to-heart. In the meantime, maybe try doing something calming? That might take your mind off things a lil' bit.

Hey, I really feel for you; it’s tough being in that kind of situation where you're left hanging with no clue what's going on... One thing I've learned from similar experiences is that sometimes people just need room to breathe even if it doesn't make sense to us at the time!! It sounds like she might be overwhelmed with her own stuff right now, and her silence probably isn't meant to hurt you. Maybe take a step back for a bit? Giving her some space doesn't mean you don't care. Instead, it could give both of you some clarity. When she's ready to talk, you'll hopefully be in a better position to have an open and honest conversation about everything… Trust me, maintaining your sanity during these times can really help when things settle down!!

Wow, this sounds super tough and I can't imagine how exhausting it's been for you!! 😟 It's great that you're so concerned about her, shows how much you care. But honestly, if she's active on Snapchat and ghosting your calls... that's really confusing! Maybe she’s overwhelmed with everything going on right now? When I've been in similar situations, I found that writing a heartfelt message explaining my feelings helped to clear things up once emotions settled down. Have you thought about what might be the best way to communicate when both of you are ready to talk?

it's undeniably tough when the person you care about retreats, leaving behind a trail of uncertainty; from personal experience, sometimes stepping back allows one to recalibrate and approach the situation with a renewed sense of understanding.

LuminousBlueMetalBootsInCairoWithGratitude 15d ago

dude, it sounds like you're running yourself ragged over this and it's just not fair to you; I mean, if she's out there keeping her Snapchat streaks alive but can't spare a moment to let you know she's okay, that's pretty messed up—it's all fine that she might need space or whatever, but completely leaving you in the lurch while you're literally losing sleep isn't cool at all.

It's indeed a difficult predicament you're in; your emotions are valid considering the circumstances... 😕

FunkyPearlMetalTurntableInLasVegasWithCuriosity 14d ago

sounds like you're caught in a really tricky spot; it's hard balancing worry and frustration when communication breaks down. considering she's active on snapchat, maybe she's seeking distraction or comfort through social media while sorting through her emotions? perhaps exploring whether there's an underlying pattern in how she handles stress might help you understand what's happening right now;;; once things have calmed down, do you think a conversation about how both of you can support each other during difficult times could be beneficial?
