This whole thing has affected me. When she and I met at college last semester, I was very confident, had high self-esteem, was optimistic, in great physical shape, and always upbeat. However, I am the type of person who tends to over-think and really be emotionally influenced. Myers-Briggs Personality type INFP. Since all this turmoil has transpired, I have found myself somewhat depressed, eating less, not motivated to work out, etc. I've also had some personal problems come up, so I'm definitely not placing the blame solely on her, but worrying about her takes some energy.
Maybe this break was a blessing, but it doesn't feel like it. It's hard to feel like you're abandoning someone you love.
