Hey guys, I'm in a bit of a personal crisis that's escalating too much to the point where it's affecting my own health.

Recently I started talking to my ex again and from what I can tell she's practically in an early relationship with somebody. I realised not long after that I've still got feelings that have been sitting deep in the back of my mind for her that are incredibly strong. Our relationship in the past (Around 2 years ago) wasn't very good and was short lived but she blames herself for it and has told me she's incredibly sorry that at the time she wasn't really ready for a relationship back then.

I now realise the feelings I've had for her had never truly died but I think I'm just barely late to try and start anything up with her. She has already made it clear she likes the idea of being friends and that I'm still someone she doesn't want to lose. But I refuse to allow myself to sit back while she starts up a relationship with somebody and I have to just watch as this torture goes by.

I don't know how I can describe my feelings for her but it feels like love. But the thought of never getting a proper chance with her is already affecting my sleep, eating, motivation and study on a massive scale. I even felt so bad it got to the point where the panic had me feeling like I was about to have a heart attack. I can't live on like this and I don't have a clue what to do. This was my first and only 'relationship' I've ever had with another person and maybe in this case that just makes it worse.

I need to know what you guys would do in this situation. Should I tell her how I feel and hope for the best? Do I explain to her I can't stand for the idea of being just friends and tell her I'll have to go my own seperate way? Do I keep talking to her and wait a few days so she can get to know me again before I say anything? I'd really appreciate some help here. For the sake of my own health I'm desperate to get back on track.

I don't think u should mess with
her new relationship. She said she
doesn't want to lose u as a friend.
I think u should accept that for now.
If that bothers u then u should step
away. If her new relationship doesn't
work out then I would say to ask her
if she still is interested in u.

I agree.
It didn’t work at that time. It might again sometime later
Just be friends, and accept that for what it is
Never turn away a friendship. And tbh an ex can be an awesome friend cause you guys have been very intimate and shared whatever. That takes trust, risk, and investment in a long term thing.
So it didn’t work out, that happens. Be happy for her cause you should want her to be happy. With or without you
If struggling with that, and reallynstruggling with that I’d talk to someone irl about it
And DO NOT interfere with there current relationship
That WILL alienate and isolate you from both of them, probably forever

I think you guys are right about being friends being a good thing, but it's also killing me inside. I do want to keep talking to her, but again I have such strong feelings for her. I'm in pain here and confused. I feel like I have to say something to her, like at the least I've always and still have feelings for her. I have no idea, I'm not any good with relationships. But the pain it's putting me in is miserable and I just wish it would stop.
