I know this is messed up

But please try to help me anyway. This girl that I was dating I absolutely fell in love with. Everything between us seemed to happen on the 20th of the month. i.e. our first date was on July 20, first kiss on August 20 breakup, November 20 (not same year) etc. Anyway it's been two months since we broke up, and at first I was doing ok. Then around the 20th of everymonth since then I've just been completely down in the dumps. Almost to the point of crying. I just don't know how to deal with this. To complicate the matter, the girl that I'm currently seeing has tried to help me with this, but I'm afraid to tell her that it's because of an ex. I like her, so I don't want to screw it up.

I can see why it would be hard to tell her, but if she cares about you I don't think that it could cause any trouble. As long as you explain the situation in the right way I believe. Just reassure her that you feelings are true to her and all will be fine.

I think every time you start your private monthly pity party, you should smack yourself in the head 20 times. I bet you will be cured in no time.
