An anonymous Ghanaian woman recently shared her emotional journey following a devastating breakup that led her to consider both suicide and a change in sexual orientation.
Her story, details the psychological impact of being used and discarded by a man she thought she loved.
The woman recounted meeting the man at a friend’s party. Initially uninterested, she was eventually charmed by his persistence and agreed to go on a date. Their first outing completely changed her perception of him, leading her to develop strong feelings. They soon became intimate, although he never officially asked her to be his girlfriend.
Shortly after their intimate encounter, the man began to distance himself, making excuses about being busy. Feeling confused and hurt, she confronted him, only to be bluntly told that he had no feelings for her and had only been using her.
The rejection left her heartbroken and spiraling into a severe depression. She considered suicide and contemplated becoming a lesbian to avoid further heartbreak. Despite seeking help from multiple therapists, she struggled to find relief from her emotional turmoil.
Her turning point came unexpectedly when she reconnected with an old schoolmate, a mixed-race therapist who offered to recommend a colleague. Although she initially resisted the new therapist due to her fear of developing feelings, she eventually found solace and began to heal.
Her story highlights the intense emotional pain caused by deceit in relationships and the importance of mental health support. It also underscores the need for compassion and understanding for those navigating such difficult experiences.
