I almost all the time dwell in past relationships. I think I cant think properly what to do and what not to do. I have anxiety n a low feeling while talking to someone I don't know. Sometimes I lie in bed doing nothing spend hrs like this. I am not able to fully live in the present. please do suggest what should I do?

If you look into past relationshi[ps it is only to reminiscence about the good times and for any lessons to be learned. Beyond that, it is all history. You must focus in the present and this moment a gift. If you have an idle mind, it will become fertile ground to brood and think negatively. You must become occupied and get involved in things that matter right now. In fact, there is so much happening that there is less time to complete all the tasks. Unless you get into these things you are likely to waste away. You may be sensitive to rejection and getting caught up in all the past rejections that have affected you. Close the​ past and have goals in life but focus in the present.
