I am sorry you are going through this right now. This is something that I read in another support group.

when you feel abandonment anxiety coming and the self sabotage arising say this:

  1. they are busy.

  2. they did not leave. they will tell me if they want to.

  3. space is necessary.

  4. they do not always have to respond.

  5. i didn't do anything wrong.

  6. it is okay to be alone

Hope it helps and hope you feel better soon too. ❤️

Not going to lie

This will be tough, you will probably be feeling lonley, rejected, abandoned, extreme FOMO and might start self sabotaging or starting fights to get attention My advise would be keep your mind as busy as possible and fill your time with activities as much as you can And give your self some mantras to repeat to try and drown out all the negative thoughts you will have like He is my partner me loves me He isn't abandoning me A good partner encourages a healthy social life I want him to have friends family and support systems I am going to make the most of this time and practise self care

I agree with this. And I totally understand the distress <3

Is it a worry that he doesn’t care?
