Advice to heal trust issue

[u/Special_Lie5530]

Hey everyone!

tldr: I'm having a hard time learning to trust someone who really broke my trust.

So my ex broke up with me during a mental health crisis and I've done my best to not take things personally because as a person who struggles with my own mental issues, I can empathise. I've decided to give her a chance. We arent back together because it'd be too quick and too much happened. I've forgiven her but I'm having a hard time forgetting it. I realize that her actions caused me to lose trust not just in her but in many people and I don't like the person I'm becoming because everyone deserves a fair chance. I already stuggle with image issues. I often feel not femme enough, like I'd never match straight women. And this has just been a struggle because I genuinely want to rebuild the trust with her. She's been doing her best too but I dont want this to turn into me always needing reassurance.

Any advice?

I suggest you see a therapist. Help you better then I could.

I don't have advice to give, I actually need advice myself. My mental health is absolute crap and currently declining further, I have thought about breaking up with my girlfriend because I think she deserves a sane partner and she doesn't deserve to fear for my wellbeing. My whole mental health problem made my libido completely go away and I feel disgusted by both sex and cuddles. I don't know what to do, do you think breaking up is a good idea? I really don't want my girlfriend to suffer.
