Been stuck in fight or flight for years — breakup made it worse, anyone else?”

I’ve been stuck in fight or flight mode 24/7 for about a year and a half. After starting Cipralex, it got a bit better — like one week I feel calm, then the next week it’s back again.

Since then I’ve become super sensitive to everything, especially relationships. I had a 10-month online relationship before, it was kinda shallow — I was sad for a bit and moved on. But recently I had another one, only 2 months long but really deep emotionally, and this breakup hit me way harder than I expected.

It’s weird how online stuff can mess me up this bad, but I know it’s because my nervous system’s already been stuck in fight or flight for so long. The first breakup hurt, but I got through it. This one feels like it’s breaking me.

Anyone else been through this? Please tell me it gets better. I feel completely drained.
