Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am an adult male and a cancer survivor. I had cancer six years back and underwent three surgeries on my neck and two on my shoulders. I undergo laboratory tests every three years and underwent a PET scan last year. I have been in a relationship with a girl, and we both agreed to be in it. Initially, she said she did not love me, but her actions showed me the opposite. When I told her that I was falling in love with her, she said she did not have feelings, but her actions with me were full of emotions and joy. Unfortunately, we broke up on bad terms, and I am not doing well in moving on. Kindly suggest a solution.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your situation. There is no reason for breaking up and no space for why or how. Though you think she loves you, you cannot force her to love you. So I suggest you move on in your life and stop stalking her on social media and delete her contacts. I suggest you not stay alone and try to be as active and busy as possible. I suggest you discard all stuff related to her memories. You may have depression if you are just stuck in it. I suggest you follow few guidelines for a healthy lifestyle and prevent yourself from getting depressed. Exercise 30 to 45 minutes daily, like going for a walk. Meditate for 20 minutes daily. Eat healthy home-cooked foods, and avoid junk foods. Spend quality time with friends and family daily or do video calls if you are living away from them. Spend time reading good books and on creative hobbies like writing journals, painting, drawing, and learning new skills, language, or musical instruments. Get seven to eight hours of sleep every day. Avoid tobacco or alcohol, or any substance abuse. Do not waste your life on someone who does not care for you. Instead, live life for your parents, who have taken care of you since birth. Be bold and confident.

I hope that you get your answer and let me know if you want some help.

Thanks and regards.
