However, I just had a dream where I was married to my ex and had two beautiful babies, and I cried so hard I had to call out sick. What have I done? FML

Today, I finally had a breakthrough in therapy and got some much needed clarity in my life.

Today, I woke up at my crazy ex-girlfriend's house, naked and disoriented. You know, the kind of crazy like we-didn't-break-up-it-was-just-a-fight now-we-can-get-married crazy. She says everything's fine now and she's so glad we've "started our family." FML
Today, the girl of my dreams that I've been dating for months called me. Apparently she's been having recurring nightmares of me cheating on her. She dumped me "just in case." FML
Today, I had a terrible dream where my boyfriend cheated on me with his ex. I woke up almost crying and called him just to tell him how much he means to me. Turns out my dream gave him that little extra push he needed to confess he's been cheating on me. With his ex. FML

Unless you were in an abusive or toxic relationship? It is unethical for a therapist to advise you to break up in a relationship!

You dumped him for a reason. Remember that to get you through.

Regrets are part of life. You are mourning the future you thought you had. … I assume there were reasons for the breakup - Remember those.
